A playful introduction

This is a relaxed, fun day designed to show you how natural and peaceful freediving can feel. Your instructor guides you through breathing, equalisation, equipment and safety on land, then takes you into the water for both depth on the line and exploration on the reef — the two halves of what freediving actually is.

Questions, answered clearly.

The useful details first. Ask the team when your plans need a specific answer.

Do I need experience for Freediving Discovery?

No prior experience is required. It is designed for complete beginners, ocean lovers and snorkellers who want to go deeper.

How much is Freediving Discovery in Koh Tao?

3,500 thb, including equipment, a professional instructor, a free GoPro video and a Blue Chitta t-shirt. Booking with a friend takes 5% off.

What's the difference between Discovery and Intro to Freediving?

Discovery is the playful option — theory plus 45 minutes on the line and 45 minutes on the reef. Intro to Freediving is more structured, with a meditation and breathing session and a longer water session, and leads directly toward Level 1 certification.

How deep will I go?

This is an introduction rather than a depth course — you will experience freediving on the line and on the reef under the guidance of a professional instructor.

What should I bring?

Just sun protection and a reusable water bottle. Everything else, including all freediving equipment, is provided.
