Become a certified SSI Marine Ecologist Freediver

With the benefit of not requiring any noisy boats or any heavy clumsy equipment you can learn to glide beneath the surface on one breath.

Discover local marine life without disturbing the tranquility and learn how to skilfully navigate kelp forests and anemone gardens to remove marine debris.

The Eco Freediver Package is run over 2 days. Day one is split into class room sessions at our school in Chester, followed by confined water training in 3m deep x 25m pool to practice your new skills before heading out to open water.

Day two we head up to the beautiful bays of Anglesey for the open water dives, with the added safety of shore diving from a buoy with a weighted line down to 5m, perfect for our local shores and with the knowledge gained from the Marine Ecology course you will appreciate the marine life even more!

You are welcome to attend our training sessions every Thursday 7-10pm as day 1 and 2 do not need to be consecutive days, we offer help and support, in a safe, fun and friendly environment throughout your freediving journey.
