PADI Advanced Freediver Course

Advanced Freediver course from PADI (formerly known as Freediving Level 2 course).

Aim of the PADI Advanced Freediver Course (formerly "Level 2 Course")

Expansion of theoretical knowledge and development of advanced skills for static, dynamic, free immersion and constant weight in the pool and open water up to a maximum depth of 24m.

You have been diving for a while and train regularly in the pool and lake: Now your performance has reached a plateau and you are ready to take your freediving skills to the next level? Learn in the Advanced Freediver course how to optimally prepare your body and mind for a diving performance, optimise your technique, work on your weak points and you will get the key in your hand to break through your previous limits.

Spending more time freediving and reaching new depths is an indescribable feeling. It satisfies your personal desire to get the best out of yourself and be proud of what you can achieve.

The PADI Advanced Freediver course aims to fulfil this personal desire by refining and improving your freediving skills, progressing slowly and experiencing how your body works while holding your breath.
