2025 FREEDIVING COURSES IN CAPE TOWN
THE ULTIMATE TWO DAY FREEDIVING COURSE
Peter and I have designed a freediving course that will suit total beginners or take an intermediate to the next level!
Day 1: Foundation building at Blue Rock Quarry in Somerset West
On the first day we will meet at the tranquil Blue Rock Quarry to do a thorough breathwork session, lung stretching and the theory of freediving. After a light lunch we will kit up and do breath-hold exercises in shallow water to master the skill of slowing down the heart-rate and preparing for deep dives. The deep dives will be done off our comfortable freediving buoys and ropes. This is where the calm clear water of the rock quarry helps us work on equalisation, duck diving techniques, safe descent and ascent skills and learning to know your limits
Day 2: Freediving in the kelp forest
The second day we will meet at the best ocean divesite for the day’s conditions (wind, swell etc.). We will warm up with more freedive specific stretching followed by another breathing exercise and breath hold training. We will do two dive sessions, one focusing on open water skills development and how to safely dive with a buddy, while the second session will be more around personal depth exploration.
With a max of 6 people and two instructors (Peter and Hanli :) this is a course tailored for those who are keen to give freediving a real go! We will supply any gear you don’t have and entrance fees to Blue Rock.

WATER WOMEN
Ocean Confidence Course
This one day course is one of my favourites!
Run in my very own blue backyard for local women and girls who want to increase their ocean confidence. Some of the learning will be done on our yoga mats, some in a tidal pool for training and simulations and also in the open ocean.
A lot of confidence can be gained in a day, especially if you are interested in growing your breath for surfing bigger waves or just want to gain enough confidence to explore a little further into the kelp forest.
Upcoming course dates:
Saturday 12 April / 9 - 15 / Millers Point
Saturday 19 April / 9 - 15 / Millers Point
R 2600 pp / Max 6 participants / Women
