Seaborn - El Nido Freediving School is located at Serena St, Buena Suerte, El Nido, Palawan

We offer several diving spots that you can explore during your trip with us. However we would like to inform you that the diving spots we take you may vary depending on the weather conditions of the day. Our top priority is your safety and providing you the best experience possible. Therefore, we will determine the diving spot where the clearest water visibility is to ensure that you have a memorable time exploring the underwater world of El Nido. Our freediving spots do not have specific names as they are known only by the local freedivers. Additionally, we do not disclose the locations of these spots in order to provide our guests with a more private and secluded experience away from the crowds.

Usually we go to atleast 2-3 diving spots in one day. We can go up to 4 diving spots with Private Freediving Tour since the hours on this package is very flexible.

Freediving Intro Class is what we recommend for non-swimmers.

If you are a comfortable swimmer, you are qualified to take Molchanovs Wave 1 Course or Freediving Intro Class.

If your companion wishes to come on the freediving activity, but only wants to snorkel and not freedive, they will be billed at the Fun Dive rate of ₱4,000 per person. This is necessary because we must decline other freedivers to secure your slot. Bringing someone along who is not partaking in the activity means they will occupy a slot that could have been used by other freedivers and students, which is why we strongly advise against it.

Unfortunately you will still be charged the same amount as our expenses for the trip remains the same.

However, in our Tour C Private Island Hopping- one of the spots is Helicopter Island - it’s also a spot to freedive. But Private Island Hopping Tour does not include Freediving Safety Coach.
