It’s only natural!

Try a freediving course to experience an exciting and very natural way of diving!

Freediving has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world! It allows divers to explore the beauty of the underwater world in one breath! Freediving forces us to be present in the moment, and when you slide underwater, your “land life” is put on hold, and the instant calming effect of a quiet mind becomes convincingly obvious. Not sure it’s for you? Almost anyone can learn to freedive! Why not learn in the Myrtle Beach – Murrells Inlet area?

FII Freedive Instructor International Rami Zaki, will host classes together with Express Watersports & Cressi this season in Murrells Inlet, SC.  FII has identified the core skills needed for effective freediving, which are carefully implemented into the curriculum to offer students the most effective learning experience enabling them to freedive confidently and safely in a matter of days.
