Dive with Breathflow Connection
Take your freediving to the next level with the Apnea Total Level 2 – Advanced Freediver Course in Koh Samui.
This 3-day course is designed for certified Level 1 / beginner freedivers who already feel comfortable in the water and want to dive deeper, stay longer, and refine their technique and safety skills.
Training is in small groups (max 3 students per instructor) and includes advanced breathing techniques, COâ‚‚/Oâ‚‚ training, static apnea, multiple open water sessions, and rescue practice.
Typical outcomes for Level 2 students (depending on individual ability and comfort):
- Deeper, more relaxed dives beyond Level 1 depths
- Longer, more comfortable breath-holds
- Stronger equalization, body position, and finning technique
- Solid understanding of safety, buddying, and rescue skills
The course follows the Apnea Total Advanced Freediver (Level 2) curriculum and includes all necessary equipment, safety supervision, and certification upon successful completion.
