Bringing family to freediving training program?

[delight]

I'm still a beginner in freediving but thanks to a background in competitive swimming I reached 115m in DYN after a few pool sessions. My CNF personal best is around 33m. Now I'm considering attending a training program to explore my limits and learn more about freediving in a professional environment during 2-4 weeks.

Is it a good idea to bring your family (wife and two kids) to a training program in Dahab, Thailand or similar places? Would you have time to spend with them during mornings and evenings?

Absolutely - you will likely only want to dive once per day. You can also spend time stretching, training dynamic/static etc, but assuming you are doing this consistently at home, there is no particular reason to exert yourself with auxiliary training when you have the opportunity to dive.

Be careful with Thailand if you already have a 33m CNF - you are likely to find yourself depth-limited by the bottom of the ocean.

Dahab is meant to be the best place in the world to train, but it is very very quiet so may be tough for your family if they are not also diving.

Phillipines , Indonesia have a lot of depth as cheap if not cheaper than Thailand

Thank you for your replies! I will look more into Thailand and Indonesia as I'm sure my family would love those places too.

Anyone here has experience or advice to get young children acquainted with the ocean , diving or plain water fun. It seems like these parents figured it out really well.
