The main time commitments are:
- Sundays, 9am-1pm, at the Freedive Studio. This is when you will complete your depth challenges and do your open water teaching practice. Expect to attend 7-10 of these. This is the biggest time commitment of the program.
- One weekday, 4-5pm, online (the day and time can be modified depending on candidates' schedules). This is when we will do all of the online teaching practice, exams and presentations. Expect to attend 7-8 of these.
- Saturdays, noon-6pm. This is when Beginner Pool classes run, at which you will assist and lead sections. Expect to attend 2-3 of these.
You will also get homework which you must complete in your own time, like preparing your Special Presentation.
You need the following personal gear:
- Wetsuit (3mm in spring to fall)
- Mask and snorkel
