Quality Freediving Courses in the Philippines
Our Philosophy
We focus on providing high quality freediving courses in the Philippines. All of them are run in small groups, with 3 students at the most.
Each freediving agency has its own particular methodology, a unique philosophy, and some slightly different objectives. At Conservation Freediving Bohol, we developed our own way of giving courses by integrating the latest developments in the sector and by mixing the different approaches we found in Apnea Total and AIDA freediving agencies.
We follow Apnea Total’s philosophy by providing a personalized experience based on sensations and the beauty of the experience rather than focusing on the performance itself. Essentially this is what freediving is all about: – to let go and enjoy.
We also integrated the professional and precise touch of AIDA courses, and we offer therefore also a more classic requirements-based program that will allow you to continue your freediving journey with a certification that is recognized everywhere in the the world.
In the end, you choose the path that suits you best and we adapt our style to your aspirations: discovery, enjoyment, exploration, performance, evolution, precision, competition, … It’s all up to you.
And be assured that whatever you seek, we will bring it to you through comfort, relaxation and security.
