Basic Free Diving Course

Could anyone recommend a good Basic Free Diving Course for the Miami area. I am a total beginner in my early 50's and my 18 year old son wants to learn the basics too.
Thanks in advance
Tom

Re: Basic Free Diving Course

They are doing the Free Diver 1 courses. I am looking for a introductory course or pool course. I have no training at all and my son and I would like to learn from the beginning. Is the F1 course something a total beginner could do?

Re: Basic Free Diving Course

The Level 1 class is suitable for complete beginners, as well as those with freediving experience. In south Florida you have a lot of excellent instructors to choose from.

Re: Basic Free Diving Course

I run 2-3 courses year round in Fort Lauderdale, and I have a 3 day program for beginners like yourself and your son.

Here is a short video show what goes on in my courses.

Chris flew all the way from Liverpool England to train with Immersion and he had ZERO freediving experience.

He left the course with a 2:15 breath hold up from 30 seconds and maxed out the course with a comfortable dive to 66ft.


You can find more about my courses @ www.Immersionfreediving.com. I will be adding more course for the rest of 2015 as well as 2016 in coming weeks.
