Freediving is simple. Relying on a single breath
of air, you explore the underwater world free of cumbersome
equipment. Freediving
gives you an incredible opportunity to experience the
ocean in a very unique way.
To get started, all you need is a basic safety lesson,
a dive buddy, some simple equipment and a few tips on
technique. Blue Planet offers freediving
courses to suit your level of skill and experience
– all the way from beginner to instructor training.
Our courses are accredited through A.I.D.A. - the most
recognized and respected international freediving organization.
Freediving in the waters surrounding Lanta is an incredible
experience!
Freediving is easy and enjoyable once you learn how
to relax underwater.
Recreational freediving can mean snorkeling in shallow
water and making quick dives down, or it can mean making
deeper dives to see things you can’t see as a recreational
scuba diver. The main disadvantage in freediving, of
course, is that your time on the bottom is limited.
Advantages to exploring the underwater world without
tanks:
• Less equipment means you can go more places
• No bubbles means you don’t scare the fish
away…!
• No regulator noise lets you hear other underwater
noises more easily
• Your movement along the bottom is effortless
due to reduced drag
There are as many different reasons to enjoy freediving
as there are different people who enjoy it. Some enjoy
the sensation of weightlessness, sinking, and floating,
while others are more attracted to the performance-based
element of the sport.
