Freediving Boat Trips
Freediving training in Eilat is going to the next level!!
For the first time in the Gulf of Eilat: freediving training from a boat with no depth limit, open to all freedivers.
These sessions are for certified freedivers who can perform safety dives and want to train, go deeper and add variety to their training in Eilat.
How does it work?
Meeting point:
We meet at the Freedive Israel club at 7:45 (if you need to rent equipment), or at the Southern Marina opposite Mike's Place at 8:30.
We can't wait for latecomers, so please make sure you arrive on time. The boat leaves the marina at 9:00 sharp.
Heading out to sea:
We sail toward Electric Beach, about a 10-minute ride. There we anchor over a depth of 50 to 100 meters, depending on the divers' needs and the weather.
After a briefing, we split into groups by level, set up the lines in the water and start training (maximum 3 divers per line).
There are two boat training options:
1. Independent training – for divers who don't need or want in-water coaching or pointers, just a buddy and a safe diving setup.
2. Guided training – available on request for groups or individuals
About the boat:
The boat is fast, spacious and comfortable, and limited to 12 people – so registration is in advance and we recommend booking early.
On board you'll find:
-
The boat's instructor team, Adam Hale or Ariel Kedmi – founders of Freedive Israel, with extensive instructing experience in Israel and abroad.
-
A first aid kit, oxygen (with an on-demand regulator), communication equipment and life jackets for emergencies.
-
Ice-cold water.
-
Storage areas for essential freediving gear, including weights, weight belts, freediving buoys and dive lines.
-
A full-length canopy to keep you protected from the elements.
-
GPS and depth finder – essential technology to make sure we find the best dive sites every day.
-
An experienced captain on board at all times.
