Bring whatever you already have, whether it’s Scuba gear, freedive gear, snorkel gear, or backyard swimming pool gear.  Though freedive specific gear will best suit the maximum depth allowance for this course, it is not necessary for successful completion.

  • snorkel
  • wetsuit (3mm in NC, variable in other locations)
  • weight belt/weights
  • timing device (dive computer or cheapo watch with stopwatch)

Please note that boat charter fees associated with our courses are not included in the course tuition.  Boat fees are estimated at $40 for this particular location.
