free diving course
Evening study course at Marina Tel Aviv
A freediving course is the basis for fun and safe freediving. At Tel Aviv Free Diving Club we offer free diving courses at a variety of levels. Our courses are held in a classroom at the Tel Aviv Marina and going out to sea as part of the cruise is via a yacht of the highest level. You can read more about choosing a free diving course in the Mediterranean in the article we published on the subject . The main guide at the club is Shlomi Goldstein - an Israeli record holder several times who dived to a depth of more than 120 meters with one breath of air.
