Static Apnea Clinic

1 day · 3-minute breath-hold goal

Back to Coaching & Training courses

Unlock the full potential of your breath. Spend one day diving into the art of stillness, mastering relaxation, and exploring breath-hold performance. Add-on: a Dynamic Apnea session (+1,000 THB). Can also be included as part of the Apnea Total Advanced (Level 2) course.

The Static Apnea Clinic is a focused one-day deep dive into stillness. Rather than depth, you work on the mental and physiological side of the breath-hold: relaxation, contractions, the urge to breathe, and the calm that lets you hold far longer than you think. Many divers target a three-minute breath-hold by the end of the day. Add a Dynamic Apnea session for an extra 1,000 THB, or take this clinic as part of the Apnea Total Advanced (Level 2) course.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a depth course?

No. The Static Apnea Clinic is all about breath-hold rather than depth. You spend the day working on stillness, relaxation, managing contractions and the urge to breathe, in a controlled environment.

Do I need to be certified already?

No prior certification is required. It is a one-day clinic open to anyone who wants to improve their breath-hold, calmness and mental focus, and it pairs well with a Level 1 or Level 2 course.

What kind of breath-hold can I expect to reach?

Many divers work toward a three-minute breath-hold over the day, but the real goal is technique and relaxation. Results vary from person to person, and the focus is on progress, not a fixed number.

Can I add dynamic apnea?

Yes. You can add a Dynamic Apnea session for 1,000 THB (~26 €) to combine breath-hold with movement training. The clinic can also be included as part of the Apnea Total Advanced (Level 2) course.
