Basically not much - both certification agencies certify you as in technical scuba diving and freediving, the only difference is that the courses vary very slightly in skills performed and knowledge given. TDI have been around for many years (its the oldest technical diving agency there is), providing quality courses in technical scuba diving and freediving. TDIs diving courses are very flexible, and allow the instructor to throw in as many diving skills as he wishes (as well as the core diving skills required), to ensure that the diving skills of the student are of a high enough standard. The theory portion of the TDI technical scuba diving and freediving courses are also very flexible, with classroom presentations required to be given by the instructor. The TDI course book gives vital information, but most will come from the instructor. TDI technical scuba diving and freediving courses are very well tried and tested over the years and have proved to be some of the best technical scuba diving and freediving courses around.

If your knowledge reviews are suitable then the only part of the course you need to spend in the classroom is the exams - leaving you more time for diving!

What is Freediving (Apnea)?

Freediving is simple and fun. A freediver will rely on one breath of air for underwater exploration. A freediver can move gracefully without wasting any energy, spend several minutes underwater and experience the ocean as any other marine mammal does. Without the need for cumbersome equipment, a freediver can sneak up on marine life without disturbing it with the sound of scuba bubbles.
To start, all you need is a basic knowledge of freediving safety, freediving buddy, mask, fins and a few tips on technique. There are freediving courses, from beginner level to instructor, through A.I.D.A. - the largest and most recognized international freediving organization. Making freedives on Koh Lanta's dive sites is an incredible experience not to be missed!

The key to being a good freediver is learning how to relax underwater.

Recreational freediving can be anything from snorkeling in shallow water, to making deeper dives where you can see things beyond the range of scuba diving. However, the motivations and activities for recreational freediving are much the same as for recreational scuba.

There are several advantages to exploring the underwater world without tanks:

- Using less equipment (mask and fins) means the diver can get to more locations
- No bubbles scaring away the marine life
- No noise coming from a scuba regulator enables the diver to hear fish, boats and other sounds
- Movement along the bottom is almost effortless due to reduced drag
- Freediving is like visiting another dimension where you can move around as freely as you like and become one with the sea

Along with the exploration of the underwater world comes the inner exploration of sensations and personal limits. Many people enjoy freediving for the feeling of sinking into the depths and floating back to the surface.

Others enjoy the sensation as their heart slows down and the diving reflex takes hold, or enjoy freediving as a challenge; competing in different freediving disciplines.
