The freediving theory includes: Introduction to Freediving, Freediving Breathing Cycle, Basic Physiology of Freediving, Equalization, Freediving Techniques, Safety in Freediving, Equipment in Freediving and Freediving Disciplines. | Knowledge development (you study the theory at home in your own pace) and we will provide practical theory lessons. | Pool session STATIC apnea | Pool session DYNAMIC freediving | Equalisation techniques & rescue skills | Breathing & Freediving techniques | Day 1 Class Structure (7:00AM-2:00PM):The day will start at 6am at the Ala Wai Harbor in Waikiki.
