Pushing past your current limits—whether it’s holding your breath longer or reaching a greater depth—is one of the most rewarding parts of freediving. The PADI Advanced Freediver course is designed to help you refine your skills, understand your body’s responses during apnea, and progress steadily toward new personal bests.

This course builds on your PADI Freediver training, giving you the tools and techniques to safely extend both your time and depth while gaining confidence through structured practice.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence and skills to safely explore new depths and extend your underwater experience to the next level.

The Advanced Freediver course is divided into three main phases:

1. Knowledge development – Learn about advanced freediving techniques, training methods, and specialised equipment through PADI Freediver eLearning (or instructor-led sessions if eLearning is not available in your language).
2. Confined water session – Practice stretching, relaxation, and refine your static and dynamic apnea skills.
   • Goal: static apnea of 2:30 (2:00 for freedivers under 18)
   • Goal: dynamic apnea of 50m (40m for freedivers under 18)
3. Open water sessions – Develop deeper free immersion and constant weight dives, while practicing advanced buddy procedures and rescue techniques.
   1. Goal: constant weight freedive of 20m (15m for freedivers under 18)
