Junior Freediver

The course is designed around the way younger students learn, using age-appropriate academics and practical training to build real freediving skill, safety awareness, and responsible habits in the water. Students are trained to dive to a maximum depth of 50 feet (15 meters). Junior Freediver courses are taught by certified FII Junior Instructors and maintain a maximum student-instructor ratio of 4:1 to support a safe and effective learning environment.

For parents, this course offers a structured and safety-focused way for younger students to begin freediving with age-appropriate instruction and close supervision.

Parents are encouraged to attend with their children.
