The Induction

~ ~ PRE-REQUISITES ~ ~

~ ~ WHAT TO BRING ~ ~ 

You don't need fancy gear to do the induction sessions. But there are some basic pieces of equipment that will ensure you get the most out of the sessions.

Wetsuit
If you tend to get cold this is highly recommended. Any wetsuit will do the trick, but we recommend triathalon or surf suits for most of the sessions. For the first session, you may want a thicker suit.

Mask and snorkel
Or goggles and nose clip.

Fins
Long freediving fins are ideal, but scuba/snorkelling fins also work fine.

Weights
Plastic covered weights on a belt or neck weights. Bring all your weights and we will help you determine how much you need to wear.

~ ~ WHAT WILL I LEARN? ~ ~ 

- Basics of freediving safety and rescue practice (successful demonstration of rescues is a requirement to complete induction)

- Correct weighting and how to check this
