Talented panel of speakers (Free Divers) representing from Australia, Singapore, Indonesia & Malaysia will share their expertise, knowledge and also their experience. It would be held on 30 July 2016 (Saturday) 12.30pm – 1.30pm in Hall3,PWTC. If you wonder how to increase your breath -hold time, you are invited to attend Freediving workshop. The workshop will be held on 31 July (Sunday) at 11.00 am -12.00pm Listen to Azua's talk on her freediving journey.
This talk will be conducted on 31 July (sunday) at 2.30pm -3.00pm (Main Stage) You want to learn how to freedive, but you are not sure which programs suit you? In Apnea Odyssey, we always recommend to start with Level 1 program, this is where you can learn how to hold your breath, understand from theory sessions, practice with step by step from pool to open water for your depth training session. In the end, you want to freedive, because you want to dive in the sea. However in Kuala Lumpur, the nearest island is almost 4 hours away. to conduct full level 1 course within 2 or 3 days will be challenging and we will end up spend more on traveling time. We always encourage to start with the pool so that they can have more practice session to prepare for their Level 1 certification. For SSI level 1 certification, during course maximum depth allowed is 20m. Pool freediving course is part of Level 1 program, after this certification, students may start with their open water for depth training sessions to complete their level 1 certification, this in SSI system we call it Level 1 upgrade, we upgrading our pool certification to Level 1 certification. To obtain the pool certification, all participants need to perform minimum requirement for Level 1 pool part and also theory exam. We also understand about freediving culture because you will need platform to train after you complete your pool certification . For this we prepare our weekly training as well for our certified students. We also have another program for beginner which is SSI Freediving Basic. The difference between SSI Freediving basic and Freediving pool is in freediving basic there are no theory exam and no performance requirement to complete, but you will learn all same theory and pool practice like in pool. Maximum depth for freediving basic and pool is 5m. You also can upgrade your certification from Basic to Level 1 . Sound fun for your holiday ? we will offer more freediving basic program at Kota Kinabalu and Penang.

SSI has lunched it’s new Freediving program Try Freediving as an experience program to those who want to experience what freediving is before register for SSI Freediving Level 1. In conjunction with this new program, Apnea Odyssey was grateful to promote ‘try freediving session in Penang with Zou Divers. This is a 2-hours introduction program included pool training to let all participants to experience the introduction of freediving activity. However, this is only an experience program not equivalent with any freediving certification program. Anyone interested with freediving certification program, can enrol for Freediving Basic/Pool course (2 days/6-8hrs program) or SSI Freediving Level 1 with two depth training sessions. We have two groups participated for the session. We have Nagaraja, Rozani and Nasrol. In the try freediving session, every participants will be taught breathing technique of freediving. Next, they will practice to hold their breath, and practised all the skills in the pool. Everyone performed good freediving skills in the pool. Nasrol did it easy 40m. And also Rozani and Naga. Everyone is excited to see their progress respectively. nd we have second group in afternoon session. For this program, the minimum age requirement is 10 years old. We have Kai (11 years old) and Hawa (10 years old) participated in this training session. The performances by our junior freedivers were astounding. In one breath, Kai can naturally go 25 meter with fins, and so with Hawa. At the end of the session everyone happy to participate the session. Everyone is excited to continue their freediving level 1. I am also happy to hear the positive response. And even after the session, I have received a phone call to do the same session in Alor setar. But most importantly is the awareness about this activity that you cannot freedive alone. One of the benefit from the program is now we have Penang group for freediving activity. After the session, all participants will receive their try freediving digital card and diploma. Remember: Never Freedive Alone! SSI has launched it's new Try Freediving modul.
