• Monofin Freediver Clinic

    £75.00£275.00

    Students will be introduced to different approaches to freediving with a Mono-fin, exercises designed to work on style and how to design a training program.

    Advanced techniques will be covered far beyond any current course syllabus. We will use video analysis to help improve stroke. Students do not have to own a mono before the clinic to benefit. All instructors/guest speakers are to be previous UK squad members and/or UK record holders. There will be a minimum of two, hopefully three depending on student numbers to keep ratios low.

    50% OFF if you do the course a second time for additional experience.

  • PADI Basic Freediver

    £50.00£165.00
    The PADI Basic Freediver course is a subset of the PADI Freediver course. It’s a great first step for developing solid freediving skills. You learn basic freediving principles and focus on practicing breathhold techniques in a pool or confined water site. To enroll in a PADI Basic Freediver course you must be 12 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.
  • To become an Apneists mermaid does require some knowledge (for your safety, and that of your fellow mermaids). As there is no such thing as a ‘mermaiding’ qualification, we offer an AIDA 2 Star Pool-Freediver course (£125) followed by the club recognised Beginner mermaid course (£125) which will train you to use the mono-fin and tail proficiently. If you have no experience in Freediving, first follow the link to do the AIDA 2 Freediver pool course here:

  • Spearfishing and foraging is an environmentally friendly way of catching your food for the table. Todays destructive, unsustainable fishing methods are simply not a long term viable option.
