FastTrack Freediver

Dahab is one of the world’s freediving meccas.

Excellent conditions and depths have enabled many freedivers to break national and international records, and to set new personal bests. But freediving isn't just for extreme deep divers. Dahab is the perfect start-out spot for freediving, offering “deep snorkellers” and beginner freedivers amazing coral reefs and formations to dive along.

What is freediving?

Freediving is where Scuba Diving was 40 years ago - just on the verge of becoming very popular with recreational divers. Read a bit more about what freediving is, and how to get started.

Full on training!! Do your Beginner course (AIDA**) in just 2 days, and progress immediately to the Advanced Course (AIDA ***). The FastTrack package is especially popular with people who have been freediving for a while, but never had any formal training.
