Many of our guests coming to Panglao for an internship or Zero to Hero ask us, “What kind of gear do I need to bring or buy?” Of course, each diver needs a mask, snorkel, weight belt, fins, and wetsuit, but these are all included in the program. Unfortunately, dive computers are not available for rent.
Doing a beginner freediving course without a dive computer is fine. Even the level 2 freediving course without one is fine. But when you start the Level 3, AIDA 4, or Wave 3 course, you need to know what you are doing in the water. A proper dive computer tells you your dive times, depths, and speed and has several alarms and different types of notifications. A master freediver diving without a dive computer is diving blind.
There are many different types of dive computers. We recommend the Mares dive computer and, because of its unprecedented reliability, the Suunto D4I Novo.
Sir Rashid (our tour guide) and the staff of Freedive Academy were very accommodating and kind. We had such a great time during our freediving experience! Would recommend it to others 💯

Rashid was my guide for both the glass bottom kayak and snorkeling. Had a great time with him and the sardines! He took really love pictures, and was so sweet and patient overall. I would love to come back and learn to free dive with him someday.

Our family participated in the Glass Bottom Boat Tour with the Panglao Freedive Academy. We had John, Rashid and Arnold as our tour guides. They were amazing an helpful, as were all the staff during our booking! I highly recommend you request for those tour guides if you plan on going! Thank you so much to all the staff for an amazing experience!

Level 1, 2 and 3 SSI then 3 months of master training and I've loved it. The academy is a great place to learn and train. Poolside is very chill and relaxed yet focused and knowledgeable with all the trainers and masters. You can very much be focused on your own goals and train at your own pace! Then the line diving at Napaling reef is fantastic.
The staff are super helpful and friendly as well. I've loved my time here and hope I can come again!
