SSI Freediving runs from the introductory Try Freediving session through structured Level 1, 2 and 3 certifications, all delivered via the SSI digital platform. Level 1 typically introduces depths to around 16 metres with proper relaxation, equalisation and buddy-safety technique.

Where you'll dive in Rasdhoo Atoll

Freediving makes the most of Rasdhoo's calm, clear water and the reef wall that drops steeply from about 5 to 30 metres just off the island, which gives an ideal natural training line. The flat conditions and warm water of the November-to-April season suit relaxed breath-hold practice.
