Course FAQs
Got questions about starting your freediving journey? We've got answers.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
Yes, you should be comfortable in the water and able to swim at least 200m non-stop. While freediving is about efficiency and relaxation, a baseline comfort and proficiency in swimming is important for safety and enjoyment.
What equipment is provided?
We provide high-quality freediving fins, mask, snorkel, wetsuit (if needed), and a weight belt for all courses. You just need to bring your swimwear and towel. We ensure all gear is well-maintained and fits correctly.
Is freediving dangerous?
Like any water sport, there are risks, but with proper instruction, gradual progression, and strict safety protocols, freediving is very safe. Our priority is always your well-being, and we never push you beyond your comfort zone.
What if I can't equalize?
Equalization is a key part of freediving, allowing you to descend comfortably. Our instructors will teach you various techniques. It takes practice, and we'll work with you patiently to find what works best for your body.
What's the water temperature like in Palolem?
The water in Palolem is generally warm, ranging from 27-30°C (80-86°F), making it ideal for freediving without needing thick wetsuits. A thin wetsuit or rash guard might be preferred by some for comfort and sun protection.
