Junior Freediver

Set your young diver on the right path with this 2-day Junior Freediver course, designed specifically for ages 12-17. Developed by FII with academics adapted by grade school teaching professionals, the course uses games and activities to teach fundamental freediving skills and safety protocols in a way that's engaging and age-appropriate.

Students build safe habits and watermanship skills through classroom instruction, confined water training, and an open water dive at Two Step - one of Kona's most beautiful dive sites. By the end of the course, junior freedivers are trained to dive safely to a maximum depth of 50 feet (15 meters).

With a maximum 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio, every young diver gets personalized attention throughout the course.
