Do you often find yourself preparing to hold your breath for a long time before duck diving?
During dive trips, everyone rushes to take countless stunning photos,
but when it's your turn to dive, you think, "Oh no, I don't have enough air,"
and then surface again.
Or perhaps during static apnea, you just can't resist the urge to breathe,
but you also don’t want to simply "endure" through it.
We get it!
There are countless breath-hold training plans online,
but are those plans really tailored to your needs?
SSI offers a course specifically designed to teach you
how to customize your own training techniques,
guiding you through repetition to achieve comfort.
No more aimless effort—this course is here to help you train smarter, not harder!
At Peninsula Divers, our small-class teaching approach ensures that every student can learn comfortably without worrying about falling behind.
Even a single participant can register and join.
At Peninsula, you don’t need to worry about being alone.
Outside of class hours,
our instructors are happy to accompany you on a culinary tour of Hengchun,
explore hidden local attractions during course breaks,
and immerse yourself in the local lifestyle of Peninsula Divers.
