Required Equipment

Students are required to have personal freediving equipment suitable for cold water temperatures. Weights and safety equipment provided by instructor.

Low-Volume Mask 

A low-volume freediving mask ensures easier equalization and a better seal during deep dives.

5-7mm Wetsuit

Two-piece open-cell wetsuits with integrated hoods for warmth and superior flexibility in cool waters.

5-7mm Neoprene Gloves

Keep hands warm and protected with specialized mitt-style gloves designed for extreme cold water training.

Freediving Snorkel

Simple J-style snorkel without purge valves for maximum safety and streamlined performance.

Rubber Weight Belt

A flexible rubber belt with quick-release buckle to maintain position and ensure emergency ditching.

5-7mm Neoprene Socks

Essential for thermal warmth and preventing fin chafing during long training sessions. Ensure your fins fit comfortably with socks on.

Long Fins

Freediving blades (plastic, fiberglass, or carbon) designed for efficient propulsion with minimal effort. Considering increasing a foot pocket size to wear with thick socks

Timing Device
