Course prerequisites
- Must be comfortable in the ocean, we will be drifting in 500ft of water in the gulf stream for 3 hours.
- Seas will be between flat calm and 4ft seas, if I believe the seas will be 5ft or more I will cancel the ocean session. If you are prone to seasickness even after taking medication I would not recommend this course.
- Must be 16 years or older.
- Must have a reasonable amount of fitness, being able to easily jog for 20 minutes, course is 11 hours a day much of it active and in the water.
- My boat has no ladder but a transom a few inches above the water. Must be able to easily pull yourself up in the deepend of the pool with out fins or using the ladder in the deep-end. This give you an idea of what is required to board my boat.

About Immersion Freediving
Immersion Freediving was founded in 2010 with the goal of offering the most comprehensive freediving courses on the market, while teaching students to dive deeper, stay longer, and most importantly become safer. My approach is to take the skills that I have developed as a 279ft competitive free diver and modify those techniques so they are applicable to a recreational freediver or spearfisherman. I will fundamentally and permanently alter your approaching to freediving by showing you the Immersion way.
