Advanced Freediver - Course & Retreat

Become an Advanced Freediver & Unlock Your Aquatic Potential

Take your freediving to the next level with our Advanced Freediver Course in Koh Tao. This immersive 4-day experience is designed to help you increase depth, extend breath-hold time, and refine your technique – all in a supportive and holistic environment.

At Blue Chitta, we combine advanced freediving training with breathwork, meditation, and yoga, helping you unlock your natural aquatic potential safely and confidently.

During this course, you will learn how to hold your breath for over 3 minutes and practice specific techniques to enable you to reach depths of over 30 meters

You can continue to the advanced course right after finishing the FreeDiving Level 1 course. 

Deepen Your Freediving Journey

The Art of Breath-Holding

Through advanced breathing techniques, visualization, and meditation, you’ll develop the ability to hold your breath for over 3 minutes.

This not only enhances your underwater experience but also improves:

  • Focus
  • Relaxation
  • Mental clarity
  • Self-confidence

Exhale Diving & FreeFall

One of the highlights of this Advanced Freediving Course in Koh Tao is learning exhale diving and FreeFall.

Freefall is one of the most unique and addictive parts of freediving. It’s the moment when you become negatively buoyant – you stop moving, yet continue to sink effortlessly. As you go deeper, the descent becomes faster and more fluid.

This is a practice of complete surrender – a feeling that can only truly be experienced in the water.

During the course, you will begin exploring freefall through exhale diving in shallow water. As you progress, you’ll be guided to experience freefall at depth, on your way toward 30 meters.
