This is a sample itinerary. Final schedule will be given after your booking is confirmed.

08:30 AM – Private Check-in & Gear Selection: Meet your dedicated instructor at the center. Review your water background and get fitted with professional freediving gear.

09:00 AM – Relaxation & Breathing Workshop: A dry classroom session dedicated to the mechanics of the breath. Learn how to optimize your lung capacity, master a calming pre-dive heart rate drop, and understand basic freedive safety.

10:15 AM – Shallow Water Adaptation: Move into a calm, shallow bay. Practice your first breath-holds while stationary at the surface to build comfort with your natural urge to breathe.

11:00 AM – Dive Session 1: Immersion Mechanics: Swim out directly to the shallow reef. Your instructor will coach you on executing a smooth, vertical duck dive and utilizing your fins efficiently without relying on a trailing rope for guidance.

12:15 PM – Midday Coastal Rest: Head back to shore for light snacks and hydration. Discuss your initial sensations, fine-tune your equalization technique, and plan the afternoon tour.

01:15 PM – Dive Session 2: The Recreational Reef Tour: Swim out to deeper reef clusters. Put your skills into practice by exploring coral walls, floating alongside tropical fish colonies, and focusing entirely on the visual beauty of Amed’s marine ecosystem.

02:30 PM – Debriefing & Logbook: Wrap up the day, review your maximum comfortable hold times, and log the marine species observed during your dives.
