Book your activity here : https://www.balireply.com/best-activity/unlocated/freediving-in-amed/ Freediving Level 1 Day 1 On the first day in the morning we have a theory class for around 2 hours where we focus in the following topics: Freediving disciplines: special focus to the ones we will see during the course Equipment: from head to toe what we use to freedive and the reason why this equipment will make you more effective underwater. Technique:  we divide the dive to explain how each part should be performed depending the discipline in order to conserve more energy. Equalisation: how do the air volumes react with the changing pressure underwater, which air volumes we have to equalize and what is the most efficient technique to achieve this. Breathing: prepare body and mind for the dive, things to do and to avoid while preparing to perform a breath hold (dive) Recovery breathing: proper breathing technique after the dive to recover properly. After the class we go in the water for 2 hours where we practice all we saw in the class, maximum depth of the day is 12m. Day 2 Similar to day 1, we will have a theory session of around 2 hours where we see the following topics: Safety: what makes freediving a safe sport, rules and how to always keep your dives safe. Rescue: how to do a rescue in case you face that situation. Pranayama: we practise some yoga breathing exercises as they help us improve lung flexibility, diaphragm strength and keep us fit for freediving. In the water (2 hours) we will put into practice everything we have learnt in the class. The maximum depth is 20m. The classes are very dynamic and participatory, we do a lot of practise of every aspect of freediving. The instructor always shows the exercises and makes sure it's clear. We don't focus on depth or time, we focus on relaxation, technique and equalisation, once you have this depth come by themselves. We adapt the course to the need of each student. To keep the quality of the course, we don't take more than 4 students per instructor. We are the only school that finishes all courses fun diving in the Liberty wreck that is amazing scenario to practise everything you learn in the course surrounded by colorful coral, fish, swim troughs, turtles and more. Definitely the cherry on top of the cake, make sure you bring your camera! The price includes  full equipment, certification and the fun dive at the liberty wreck. ADVANCED - Apnea Total The Advanced course is a three day intensive training in which you’ll be taking your freediving to another level: you learn different breathing techniques and different ways diving in order to become a more independent freediving giving you the tools to plan your own training. Day 1 Static The theory class is around 2 hours long, where we explain the MDR (Mammalian diving reflex), which is a series of reaction that happens in our body that help us to conserve oxygen therefore making our breath holds longer and safer. We do a couple of breathing exercises and breath  holds to work on new breathing techniques and mental strategies to perform a better breath hold once in the pool. In the water (2 hours session) we put into practice what we learnt in the classroom and practice buddy system and safety response. You will definitely be surprised by how long you can hold your breath and the power of your body once your mind has the right approach. Day 2 Exhale Diving You will learn a different breathing technique where you will work on isolating your breathing muscles and combining them to find your total lung capacity and work on your lung flexibility. This breathing technique is more suitable for deep and exhale diving. After the new breathing we will explain the reasons and benefits  of Exhale dives:  how and when do we exhale, how much we need to exhale and why is this a very recommended technique.  Students get surprised how deep and comfortable the exhale dives are. In the water (2hours) we put into practice everything learnt in the classroom, the instructor demonstrates each step for students to repeat. Day 3 Deep Dive We talk about deep dives, how to prepare for them mentally and physically. We also learn how to use visualisation as a tool to prepare the dives. We teach the students important stretching techniques for breathing muscles, equalisation exercises for deeper dives, tables to work on their carbon dioxide tolerance and low oxygen, apnea walks, among other exercises to improve your freediving skills. In the water (2 hours)  we put in practice everything that we have learnt in the classroom how to warm up and the deep dive, after we practise how to set up a buoy for training and how to perform a proper safety to a deep buddy. Price includes certification, full equipment and fun dive at the Liberty Wreck.

Asking $225,000. This is one not to miss. The outstanding performance and sea handling of the classic Powercat 3000, this one presenting basically as new with new 200hp Suzuki’s (still under warranty) custom full-length hard top, full Plexiglass front panel, wrap-around clears (new 2024). This fine example of one of Powercat’s favourite designs has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully upgraded/customised. The 3000’s have a remarkable pedigree regarding performance. The AMIF award winner for its class and hailed as “one of the smoothest rough water rides you could experience… extremely capable in rough seas with exceptional stability dead in the water.” The 3000 is also one of, if not the biggest towable power catamarans out there (if you’ve got the tow-rig). The hull is built to USL code survey as standard, constructed of solid glass. Each sponson has seven sealed and water-tight bulkheads. The current owner has customised this vessel by having the stylish hard top custom made. Full length, grab rails down each side, and two lift-up hatches for increased ventilation. This is matched with a plexiglass front panel (no join/zips in the line-of-sight). Visibility from the helm is now second to none. The Powercat 3000 offers a spacious cockpit with rear lounge and table, which can convert into a bed if required. Forward, the central island includes cooktop, fridge, sink and plenty of storage space. The cabin in the bow features a great queen berth, and toilet tucked away. Having just returned from a routine service with Powercat Marine, she is now ready to go. Don’t miss out, come and see for yourself just how immaculate this PC3000 is. Note: a custom air-berth made for this PC3000 or similar is available at extra cost. Located in Cleveland, Brisbane.
