No scuba tank here
Freediving means holding your breath — no tank, no regulator, no compressed air. Looking for tank diving instead? See our scuba diving courses →
Once you’re certified, the most important thing is to keep diving. Skills fade fast — equalisation, relaxation, depth tolerance, the calm at the bottom. The fix is regular practice on a line with a competent buddy at the surface watching every dive.
Line Training is exactly that. You, the line, and an instructor or experienced freediver whose only job is to keep you safe. No course, no certification — just supervised dives so you can drill what you came here to drill.
What you get
- A rigged training line in calm water (around Gili Air, or Gili Meno depending on conditions)
- A surface buddy whose only job is to count, watch your turn-around, and meet you on the ascent
- Two to three hours in the water — however many dives you make in that window
- Brief surface debrief on what we saw (rhythm, breathing, exit moves)
Who this is for
You hold an SSI Level 1 (or equivalent — AIDA 2, PADI Freediver, Apnea Academy) and you want repetitions in real depth without paying for a full coaching session. You know what you’re doing, you just need a safe environment to do it in.
Pricing
IDR 450,000 per session. All equipment and line setup included.
Doing line training for several days in a row? Block-booking is cheaper per session — see our Multi-Day Freediving Pass or message us at freedivegiliair@gmail.com.
Frequently asked
Is this scuba diving?
No. Freediving is breath-hold diving — there's no tank, no regulator, no compressed air. You dive on a single breath, which is exactly the point. Looking for tank diving instead? See our scuba courses.
Why do I need a safety buddy?
Single-buddy supervision is the universal safety standard for line dives. The buddy counts time, watches the turn-around, and meets you on the ascent. Solo freediving — even for the experienced — is never the right answer.
How deep can I dive?
Up to your certification limit. SSI Level 1 = 20 m, SSI Level 2 = 30 m, equivalent AIDA / PADI ratings same. We'll respect your card.
How is this different from a coaching session?
Coaching is teaching + feedback (instructor-led, IDR 900,000). Line Training is supervised practice (you lead the dives, instructor watches for safety, IDR 450,000). Pick coaching when you want to learn something new; pick line training when you want repetitions of skills you already have.
Can I share the line with my own buddy?
Yes — bring a certified buddy and our instructor stays on the surface as the safety. Saves a slot in your group and works well if you and a friend are training together.
Multiple days?
Yes — block-booking is cheaper per session. See the Multi-Day Freediving Pass listing or message us with your dates.
