A Home for Beginners and Champions, Future Champions and those becoming Professionals
Maybe you want to learn how to freedive, do a beginner freediving course and try freediving for the first time. Perhaps you are ready to take your freediving to the next level by becoming a Master Freediver or a Freediving Instructor. The Freedive Academy Panglao always has something nice to offer. We have beginner and intermediate courses starting every couple of days, and we run SSI Level 3, Molchanovs Wave 3, SSI Instructor Courses and Molchanovs Instructor Courses pretty much every month. If you are a Master; join us and jump in at any time, we have Masters ready to join you on the buoy year-round.
We have a large, inviting and welcoming dive center and beautiful eco-friendly apnea sports resort here in Panglao with an incredible atmosphere, fully equipped with high-quality materials and premium gear, designed explicitly for freediving. We’re located 300 meters from the ocean with coral wall and massive drop-off at only 10 meters from shore. The island is surrounded by palm, banana and coconut trees, and with the tropical clear blue waters of the Philippines, we know you’ll enjoy the flip-flop freediver lifestyle on Panglao.
