Nestled between the Arabian Sea and the rugged Hajar Mountains, Oman is a hidden gem for those craving the underwater world and to learn a new skill. And what better way to explore the depths of the sea than through the art of freediving? After all, it’s a national sport with deep roots in Omani culture.

QTours is your go-to partner for a safe, sustainable, and quality freediving adventure.

PADI-Certified:

At QTours, we don't just promise adventure; we deliver it with a PADI certified seal of approval! Our freediving courses are the real deal, and we're not talking about a crash course in holding your breath. With us, you'll be embarking on a journey towards becoming a certified PADI freediver, capable of exploring the underwater world of Oman up to a depth of 16 meters.

The PADI Freediver course consists of three main phases:

• Knowledge development about freediving principles through independent study with PADI Freediver eLearning (or your instructor may conduct class sessions if not available in a language you understand).
• Confined water session to learn breathhold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea. Goal - static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 metres/80 feet.
• Open water sessions to practice free immersion and constant weight freedives, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal - constant weight freedive of 10 metres/30 feet.

In the PADI Freediver course, you learn to use a mask, snorkel and fins, and may also use a wetsuit and weight belt. Using gear designed specifically for freediving is best, however, in this course, you may be able to use snorkeling equipment you already own.

The recommended course duration is 15 hours. During confined and open water sessions, your PADI Freediver Instructor will focus on helping you become a confident and comfortable freediver, not on how long it takes.

Underwater Beauty:

Oman boasts some of the most stunning underwater landscapes in the world. The crystal-clear waters are teeming with vibrant coral reefs, diverse marine life, and even a shipwreck waiting to be explored. Freediving allows you to immerse yourself in this surreal underwater world, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Oman's waters.

Dive into History:

Oman's rich maritime history is reflected under the water. Omani’s are people of the sea and freediving is a part of heritage here. As a traditional fishing community, diving down without a tank is second nature to many Omani’s - and now you can experience that peace and feeling of freedom!

Year-Round Diving:

Oman's warm climate and pleasant water temperatures make it a year-round destination for freedivers. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a novice looking to dip your toes into the world of freediving, Oman's diverse dive sites cater to all skill levels. With QTours, you can embark on your underwater journey at any time, knowing that safety and enjoyment are our top priorities.
