Freediving
Are you already an avid scuba diver but dream of gliding effortlessly through the water without all the equipment? Or maybe you are new to the underwater world and want to expand your confidence in the water? Whoever you are, freediving has something to offer you.
Freediving really gives you exactly what the name suggests: freedom. In freediving, as opposed to scuba diving, you are able to swim around without restraint. You can get closer to marine life than you ever thought possible and all is done in complete silence. Passionate freedivers describe it as underwater meditation.
Freediving courses are the latest additions to the PADI industry. The PADI Basic Freediver, Freediver, and Advanced Freediver courses are safe, empowering and lots of fun! Check out the Limassol Wrecks.
