freediving dahab — Freedivers freediving in Dahab's Blue Hole - a magnet for freedivers worldwide

So what exactly is freediving? In essence, diving down on a single breath of air. And why is Dahab so famous for freediving? For several reasons, but mainly because of our beautiful Blue Hole.

Excellent sea conditions and deep depths in Dahab’s Blue Hole have enabled many freedivers to set national and international records. The 70 meter wide hole within the reef table drops vertically to 90 meters, making it one of the best place in the world to train for freediving. Embankments of hard and soft coral gently slope down, and a colorful shallow coral saddle links the hole to the open sea. The marine life is fantastic with reef fish, pelagic fish, turtles and rays, and it is rare to spot sharks in this part of the Red Sea. You’ll love it!

Learn How To Freedive

We’d love to introduce you to freediving! You can do AIDA and PADI Beginner courses, or you can fast-track your freediving and do Beginner and Advanced on a 1 week holiday

Beginner Freediving Course

Take your first step into freediving. You don’t need any previous experience in snorkeling or scuba diving. During this 2-3 day course, you will learn breathing and finning techniques, plus safety procedures which will enable you to dive to 16 meters and hold your breath over 1:30 minutes.

1 week Learn to Freedive holiday

This 1 week holiday includes your Beginner Freediving course, plus 3 days freediving training. And if your freediving is going really well, you can upgrade your training days to the Advanced Freediver course. Also includes accommodation and airport transfers

Advanced Freediving Courses

Advance your skills and techniques, including equalisation techniques, to help you dive deeper. You can do Advanced and Master Freediving Courses, as well as specialities such as Monofin and Advanced Equalisation.

Advanced Freediver Course

Learn advanced equalisation, free-falling techniques, and expand your knowledge of physiology and physics.

On this 3 day course you will learn to dive to 20-30m and hold your breath for +2 minutes, taking your freediving to a whole new level.

Advanced Monofin Training

40-50% more power, longer dynamics, fewer kicks and deeper dives – at some point, most freedivers switch to a monofin.

Learn stretch and strength exercises, and techniques for fluid monofin freediving. Open Water training can be mixed with training sessions – in fact, your muscles will thank you for this!
