Dusit Thani Maldives launches the Maldives’ first official Freediving Centre
Dusit Thani Maldives has launched the first official and internationally approved freediving centre in the Maldives. The company has joined forces with Apnea Total, a globally renowned freediving organization.
The Apnea Total Free-diving Education System and Standards are followed at the centre and guests will be provided Apnea Total certifications that are recognized worldwide.
Resort guests will train under the supervision of highly experienced freedive instructors who have themselves worked and trained under record-holding free-divers. The rental cost of Cressi equipment is included in the course prices.
The centre offers all levels of Apnea Total courses: Freediver Basic, Advanced Freediver, and Freediving Master, each lasting 2 days, 3 days and up to 5 weeks respectively. The Basic course will equip guests to dive safely and comfortably down to 20 metres on a single breath and the Advanced course equips guests to dive down to 40 metres.
“Freediving is a phenomenal water sport to offer guests at the resort, especially when we are blessed with such stunning marine biodiversity due to being located within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve,” said Thanos Lionsatos, Dusit Thani Maldives’ Director of Sales and Marketing. “This new initiative is a reflection of our continued pursuit of expanding our portfolio of guest services.”
