Flexibility in your course dates

At Vertical Freediving we understand that each person has their own learning pace and that, sometimes, unforeseen events can arise. Therefore, we can be flexible in the dates of our courses. Although the ideal is to perform the sessions consecutively, if due to compensation problems, health issues or the need to improve the technique you cannot continue as planned, we can reschedule the sessions so that you can resume them when you are in optimal condition
