PADI Freediver + Advanced Freediver Package
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
The Freediver + Advanced Freediver Package is designed for students who want to complete both levels in one focused training program. You start by building a safe and solid foundation through the PADI Freediver course, then continue directly into the PADI Advanced Freediver course to improve depth, technique, confidence, rescue ability, and training knowledge.
This package is ideal if you want to make the most of your time in Aqaba and progress from beginner-level freediving skills to advanced-level performance in one go. The training combines theory, confined water practice, open water sessions, breathing, relaxation, equalization, free immersion, constant weight technique, and advanced safety procedures.
