Kenting Freediving Recommendations5 Kenting and Hengchun Freediving Courses: Certification and Accommodation in One Go

Calista’s freediving training dive, lasting about 2 to 2.5 hours, was an experience best described as "meticulous."

The instructor emphasized precision in every concept and movement. Even without a freediving certification, anyone who has previously taken a course can participate in these training dives. The instructors assess each student's skill level and foundational knowledge to tailor the training.

Calista had long struggled with a proper duck dive, unable to enter the water straight. The instructor first corrected her hand movements, then, once those were familiar, moved on to refining her finning technique. By the end of the day, she finally mastered the correct and graceful duck dive, overcoming a long-standing hurdle. She also learned how to choose equipment and proper weighting, gaining a wealth of knowledge.

Beyond The Surface also offers an excellent course guarantee: if you feel you haven't fully grasped the material after completing a course, you can retake the entire course for free. Calista highly recommends this Kenting Freediving venue for its genuine commitment to student success!

Meirenyu School primarily accepts female students, which was very important to our shy mystery shopper Calista. She felt more comfortable with female classmates and didn't have to worry about the course being affected by differences in physical ability between men and women.

During the three-day Kenting Freediving course, Calista found the instructor to be extremely safety-conscious, constantly reminding students to follow all safety procedures. This helped them develop good habits during the course to ensure their safety while diving.

Although it was a three-person class, each student had different skill levels, comfort in the water, and individual conditions. The instructor provided tailored training as needed and filmed the sessions. Observing their movements through video allowed for more effective learning.

Additionally, Meirenyu School thoughtfully provides wooden shower stalls in the backyard and salon-grade hair care products. Girls don't have to worry about their hair becoming frizzy or dry from the seawater; they can look beautiful before diving and remain beautiful after. We recommend this Kenting Freediving venue to girls who want a comfortable and relaxed learning experience.

Debby doesn't swim, but she'd done scuba diving before, so she was both excited and nervous to try Kenting Freediving without a regulator. But the moment she stepped into Miss Catfish's Ocean Life, she was immediately put at ease by the venue's warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The entire AIDA2 freediving course spans three days. The coach starts with classroom instruction on basic freediving knowledge and breathing exercises, and only after confirming everything is understood do they head to the dive site.

Initially, Debby was too nervous to descend, so the coach immediately switched to rope-assisted practice. After that, she truly began to experience the fun and magic of freediving!

The coach was incredibly attentive, constantly observing and checking in, allowing Debby to progress at her own pace. Throughout the process, the coach also diligently took many photos, creating precious memories and keepsakes.

Jessie took a three-day Kenting Freediving course at Blue Hole Dive Center, initially worried about her poor swimming skills. But the instructor was humorous and patient, offering careful guidance and constant encouragement. Even when she took a long time to adjust her breathing on the surface, she never felt rushed, which helped her relax.

When Jessie struggled with equalization, the instructor used balloons and various props to demonstrate and try different methods to help her practice.

Additionally, an assistant filmed both the pool session and the first open water session. In the evenings, the instructor reviewed the footage to critique posture, allowing for quick corrections.

The best part is that this Kenting Freediving course offers an all-inclusive service, covering pool training fees, transportation, breakfast, lunch, insurance, and all diving necessities. Accommodation can also be booked directly through the dive venue. Essentially, once you've paid, everything else is arranged by the venue upon your arrival.

The 3-day, 2-night TanningFace AIDA2 course includes two extra online equalization lessons beforehand, which greatly reduces the awkwardness of getting stuck on equalization during the actual class. Lucy Hou found this to be a huge plus!

With the coach's patient guidance, Lucy Hou, who usually needs a break after swimming just 25 meters, learned how to use her thighs to power her dives, making her descents smoother and smoother. The coach also uses a GoPro to film everyone, then reviews the footage to explain any issues with their form and re-demonstrates, helping Lucy Hou improve at lightning speed!

Additionally, TanningFace regularly organizes dive trips, from Green Island and Xiaoliuqiu to overseas destinations, and sometimes even takes students to secret spots in Hengchun. Taking a freediving course here feels like joining a warm, extended family.

This Kenting Freediving venue is highly recommended for beginners who are not confident in the water but still want to try freediving.
