Raffles Maldives Meradhoo will be inviting free-diver Bastien
Soleil to offer a 2-day course and certification for free-diving from March 18
to April 17, 2020.
The free-diver course is designed for those with
little to no experience in the ocean and for those who have never experienced
formal education in freediving although have some underwater experience.
This course will enable guests to feel safe and
comfortable when freediving to the depths of up to 20 meters and to improve
current skills, even to double your potential. Although this might sound
difficult to achieve in a few days, you will be surprised what an experienced
Freediving instructor can do for you. The unique breathing techniques, together
with the effective structure of the course program in the classroom and water
sessions creates a fun educative environment and a successful freediving
experience.
The free-diver course runs for 2 days and is divided
into two classroom sessions and two water sessions. During the classroom
session, Bastien will interact with students using videos, questions and different
exercises which will help to improve confidence, knowledge and techniques prior
to the afternoons water session.
As a successful designer, marketeer and communications
expert, Bastien escaped the hectic city life of his native France to travel
extensively in Asia in search of a simpler life. Along the way, 5 years ago, he
found freediving, which proved to be a transformative experience. Now he uses
his old skills to develop his new love: bringing people together, creating collaborations
between likeminded spirits and trying to change our attitude towards the
environment.
Bastien Soliel is a professional freediving
instructor (Apnea Total / AIDA / Padi) and a professional underwater
photographer. He became a professional free-diver and underwater
photographer with more than 1000 dives per year and taught freediving to
hundreds of peoples from all around the world from 12 to 70 years
During the course, Bastien will take in maximum 3
students; allowing for greater personalized attention. Bastien will be with the
student at all times while underwater regardless of depth.
The only requirement to get certified as a free-diver
is to perform a rescue exercise from a depth of 6 meters during the second day.
Bookings will be available through the Reservations
center.
