One Breath To Depth

Freediving to deeper depths demands more than comfort… it demands precision – knowing how small details make big differences. A better warm-up routine, a more relaxed descent, efficient equalisation – all of it changes how you dive. The SSI Advanced Freediver Course is built around refining those very details over four days of guided training. 

You’ll move through theory, daily stretches, pool sessions, and open water dives where you explore the Ocean beyond 20 metres, on one breath. You’ll practise techniques like Frenzel equalisation, understand what free fall is and do it effortlessly, and learn to become a safety diver to fellow freedivers. 

By the end of your training, depth will feel less like an effort and more like a natural progression.

One Breath To Depth

Prerequisites

  • You have to finish reading your course material BEFORE you arrive.
  • Take a mandatory water fitness evaluation, which means
    • Swimming 100 metres without any swim or buoyancy aids, or 200 metres with Mask, Fins, & Snorkel.

Knowing how to swim is a prerequisite as per Global standards for dive training. But, you don’t need to be a pro-level swimmer. Comfort in water & curiosity about the Ocean gets you halfway there!

Medical Form:

Before you dive, you’ll need to fill out a medical questionnaire. It is a self-check of your eligibility to dive.

If you do need a doctor’s clearance, we will guide you through it! Download the form now.

Age Limitations:

  • The minimum age to dive deeper on only one breath is 15 years.

Price:

  • ₹40,000 per person, all inclusive

One Breath To Depth

  • We’ve got the essentials covered – study material, instructor charges, gear, training, certification, snacks & beverages on all training days, and taxes. 
  • Travel, meals, & stay are additional expenses.

One Breath To Depth

  • You definitely can! Scuba diving after freediving is absolutely alright. 
  • The other way round is a hard no!
  • You cannot freedive for 24 hours after Scuba diving. Why? Because of the risk of Decompression Sickness. 
  • Want to know more? Talk to us. We can help figure out a well-suited itinerary.
  • Here are the not-so-fun details:
    • Cancel one month prior, and you get a full refund.
    • Two weeks prior? 50% refund.
    • Less than a week? No refund, unfortunately.
  • That said, life loves plot twists and we get it! Talk to us and we’ll figure the best possible solution.
  • On the SSI App – your forever dive buddy. Available on Android & iOS. Phones & tablets. Or even a good ol’ browser.
  • Theory, logs, certification cards… this is your diver flex app, essentially!
  • Technically, sure. Would we recommend it? No. Learning flows better when you work with the same instructor throughout your course. 
  • That being said, if you have a complicated itinerary, talk to us. We can always switch up the dive plan!
  • 4:1. 4 students. 1 instructor.
  • That means more attention, fewer flailing fins, and plenty of time for feedback where it matters most.
  • But that doesn’t mean we won’t do the course with fewer students. We do. There is always a batch finning!

Hands down the BEST dive school on island. Training allowed me to beat 2 personal records. Attentive, constructive feedback, but most of all made me feel extremely safe. It’s a beautiful family!
