One Day RAID Foundation Freediver Course

Your one day foundation freediving certification course is a fantastic introduction to the world of freediving. Prior to attending the practical elements of the course you will have a short theory course to complete in your own time at home (or anywhere you like!). You will also have access to our online video tutorial library containing more than 18 recordings made by the Go Freediving team, to help you improve your confidence and technique before the practical elements of the course.

All kit and wetsuits are provided and our courses are held at the beautiful location of Vobster Quay – a purpose built inland dive centre – so we can guarantee no tides, no waves, no currents, and fantastic visibility due to the spring water. It may sometimes rain, but the diving conditions are always perfect and our courses are never cancelled due to bad weather or sea conditions.

We also have the highest instructor/student ratios on our RAID Freediver courses so, coupled with our very personal approach, you’re free to progress at your own pace. Taught by some of the world’s most experienced instructors and providing unrivalled materials and support, no other course offers such a comprehensive package or wealth of experience.

Our instructors make sure you never exceed your own limits or comfort zone – you set a pace that you’re comfortable with.

By the end of the day you could be diving to depths up to 5m in the most relaxed and safe manner possible.

This course is perfect for anyone who wants to take their first step into freediving, is a spearfisher looking to increase their safety and performance underwater, or someone who enjoys recreational water sports and wants to improve their skills and water safety.

Chance to Progress

Once you have completed the level 1 Foundation Freediver course you can come back and do level 2 to upgrade your certification to the RAID Openwater Freediver course. The open water Freediver course will enhance your foundation skills and certify you to dive to 20m. On the openwater Freediver course you will get to experience the thrill of diving through a submerged planes and other exciting under water attractions that Vobster has to offer.

If you would like to do both levels in one course over two days you can book the RAID Freediver course
