Freediving Courses Now Offered at Ocean Tribe

0
PADI Freediver

Ocean Tribe is delighted to announce that we are now offering PADI Freediving courses in Kenya from 30th September 2021. This is a fantastic opportunity for underwater enthusiasts to learn the discipline of freediving and immersion without scuba tanks.

What is Freediving?

Do you freediving is similar to snorkeling (although at a much deeper level)? You’re mistaken. Freediving is a completely new method to explore the underwater environment. PADI Freediving courses will enable you to go deeper, stay down longer, and feel like you’re a part of the ocean.

Freediving is a sport that can be competitive. Divers from all over the world spend years training to break world records in static apnea, dynamic apnea, free immersion, and constant weight freediving.

Reconnect With Nature

Freedivers integrate with the underwater environment silently. They have spectacular encounters with timid marine creatures and can hear all of the ocean’s sounds, including fish chewing on coral, the tide pulsing at the rocks, and even dolphin and whale cries!

Freediving is an excellent approach to reconnect with the sea while also exploring the ocean’s depths with minimal impact. Some people freedive for the challenge, but for many others, the underlying appeal of freediving is the silence and calm it gives to their otherwise chaotic lives.

Do I Need Freediving Courses?

Despite the fact that freediving looks to be a simple sport, you can learn a lot about safety and physiology. A non-trained freediver runs the risk of ear, sinus, and lung problems, as well as blackouts and drowning. An insured, competent freediving instructor can help you improve your skills while avoiding major dangers.

If you’ve done any freediving before, the new skills taught by PADI Freediving instructors will help you not only increase your depth and time underwater, but also improve your personal and buddy safety skills.

For more information please visit the Freediving section of this site or contact us to get started today!

Ocean Tribe Dive Club Launched

Ocean Tribe Dive Club Kenya

Ocean Tribe are delighted to announce a new dive club for our local residents and repeat divers who wish to dive multiple times a year and take advantage of member benefits.

We fully believe, that it is not just about doing an entry level dive course but you should continue your PADI education and get as much diving in a possible. Obviously this can get quite expensive so we would like to offer a way for local divers in Kenya to be able to reduce the cost of doing this and be able to dive regularly in Diani.

As such we would like to give our loyal divers the chance to become more experienced at a reasonable price so the Ocean Tribe Dive Club membership benefits include the chance to dive as many times as you want over the course of a year (subject to terms and conditions) and get that dive count up and your skills well-practised.

Other membership benefits include substantial savings on PADI courses for both members and their family members so they can get further up the PADI diver ladder and towards recognition ratings such as PADI Master Scuba Diver and the PADI Professional Levels such as PADI Divemaster, PADI Assistant Instructor and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

We recognise that as regular divers Ocean Tribe Dive Club members are more likely to want their own personalised custom set of scuba diving equipment so we have included a discount rate for equipment purchases made by Dive Club members. This will enable members to get Aqualung, Scubapro, XS Scuba, Cressi, Apeks, Trident, Fourth Element, Sharkskin and other top equipment brands at a reduced prices.

Interested? Sign up today for the Ocean Tribe Dive Club or click here to find out fully membership benefits and conditions.
