What the trip will look like

Day 1 – Arrive in Cebu!

To get to Bohol, you will first fly into Cebu before catching a ferry to the island! Day 1 is pretty flexible! We will settle in our accommodations and grab dinner together.

Day 2 – Theory & confined water training

Theory Session: Kick-off with an engaging theory session, covering essentials such as equipment, the science of freediving, and safety procedures.

Breathing & Relaxation Techniques: Master the art of breath control and relaxation exercises to enhance comfort and oxygen conservation underwater.

Confined Water Session: Dive into a pool session to practice basic freediving skills such as finning, duck dives, equalization, safety measures, and static apnea.

Day 3 – Open water training

Open Water Session: On the third day, you'll venture into open water. These sessions are designed to apply and enhance the skills learned in the confined water session.

Under the guidance of your instructor, you'll start with relatively shallow dives, progressively increasing the depth as your comfort level increases. The objective is to comfortably free dive to depths of 10-20 meters, although the focus is on developing good technique and comfort in the ocean, not on achieving maximum depth.

Day 4 – Open water tests

On the fourth day, you will complete a series of tests in the sea to prove that you are a competent freediver! Upon completion, you will be awarded the AIDA2 certification.

Day 5 – Farewell

On our last day, we will check out of the hotel with our free dive certification and a lifetime of unforgettable memories!
