WHY FREEDIVE ANILAO
Every day at FREEDIVE ANILAO
is built around freediving.
Open the door to the sea.
Begin with an unhurried morning drink.
Wake the body with dry training and pool practice,
then apply each skill in warm open water.
After the dive, balanced meals and enough rest help you recover.
Sessions depend on your course and sea conditions, with time for meals and rest between training.
A complete rhythm from training to recovery.
Apply pool skills in the ocean, then bring each challenge back into the next session.
Identify where equalisation or body position needs work, then practise those skills in the next session.
Explore the dive environmentWe teach more than technique. You learn to plan a dive, understand your limits, read conditions, brief your buddy and stop when necessary.
Our goal is a diver who can stay within their certification and experience, and dive safely with a qualified buddy even when an instructor is not beside them.
Every diver has a different pace and goal. We observe movement closely, explain clearly and give specific direction for the next session.
Technique, performance, safety and judgment are developed together.
Explore coachingMORE THAN A MOMENT.
