Frequently asked questions

What is the requirement to join autonomous training?

You must be a certified Level 2 / Advanced Freediver with a 30 metre minimum. This is independent training where buddies provide safety for each other, so the certification and depth requirement are essential.

How does the buddy system work?

You are teamed with a diver at your level or higher, and you provide safety for one another throughout the two-hour session. It is the affordable way to keep your depth and skills sharp between courses.

Is there a discount for bringing my own gear?

Yes. If you own your equipment you get 300 THB (~8 €) off each session. A single session is 1,500 THB (~40 €), and a 5-pack is 7,000 THB (~185 €).

What if I am not yet Level 2 certified?

Then autonomous training is not the right fit yet, because it relies on you being self-sufficient at depth. Personalised coaching or a Level 2 course would be the better next step, and we are happy to advise.
