Freediving Courses

SSI Try Freediving

Ever wondered what it feels like to explore the ocean on a single breath? Our Intro Freediving program is your first step into this world.

In one day, you’ll learn the essentials to dive safely and comfortably, focusing on relaxation, breathing and equalisation techniques all covered by your instructor. Then it’s time to put them into practice, reaching depths of up to 12 metres.

What makes us different? We’re the only school on Koh Tao that runs practice dives at real dive sites, so your first freedives come with coral reefs, tropical fish and warm waters.

Price: 3900,00 THB

I took my diving course with Federico and it was an excellent experience. He was very professional, patient, and clear in his explanations. He made sure you felt safe and comfortable at all times. Thanks to him, I learned to dive with confidence. I recommend him 100%!

Incredible spots, incredible dives, and most importantly, the instructor Marcos — super easy to understand and highly skilled!
The great Salva and the beautiful Zoe, the dive masters were superb as well! Everything was fun and incredibly because of them!!
I’ll absolutely recommend it and come back!
Let's start with the crazy atmosphere, everyone travels together in a boat and then splits into groups. Full of people, fun, laughter.
The course was at a crazy level, on the first day we were already in the water. Our instructor Nacho was professional, he calmed us down even when I was afraid, I felt like I was in good hands.
In general, the whole atmosphere in the club is just fun, you come and you just want to stay with the guys here.
A hot recommendation! Don't close anywhere else! It's crazy worth it.
There's nothing to fear about the language, they speak slowly and in clear and easy English. Just come! An experience you won't forget!!
