This year the Introductory course is being offered in combination with Dolphin Expeditions (www.dolphinexpeditions.com)

Apnea Academy Stage
A 5 day generalized freediving course that caters for students of all levels of ability, from a relative beginner to an experienced freediver. Theory classes, practical sessions in the sea and sessions of yoga and relaxation fill the days, while the evenings are a time to sit back around a seafood barbecue and swap stories about adventures under the sea Cost: $585
 
Advanced/No Fins 3 day course
A 3 day course that focuses on the specific discipline of freediving without fins or any other form of assistance. The freediver descends and ascends swimming an adapted style of breaststroke. Dubbed by some as 'pure human aquatic potential' this discipline is both the most demanding and the most rewarding. William Trubridge is current world record holder in no-fins freedivering, and will use videos, demonstrations, and exercise drills to perfect students' technique whilst maintaining their own personal style. Cost: $525
 
Master Class, with guest instructors in yoga & mental coaching (5-days)
Master your game in the three keystones of freediving: mind, body and technique
The program of the Vertical Blue Advanced class and instruction from world record holder William Trubridge is combined with expert training in the fields of yoga and guided meditation.
