Wanted to get serious about freediving and need to upgrade gears na hindi lang good for 20m at sumisikip agad. May best reco po kayo?

Hello! Sa mga may gantong camera, ano dive case nyo? Yung from official store ng insta360 o yung mga nasa Shopee/Lazada/Tiktok shop? Pa-share naman recos nyo please :)

Hey guys, we’re planning to try free diving in Napaling Reef (Napaling Crack + Sardines Run). It’s our first time, but we can swim.

Questions:

• Do we really need the intro class? The total would be 3,500; we’re on a budget.
• Is it okay to skip the class if we just want to experience it?
• Can we rent fins/mask/snorkel there? How much usually?
• How much are entrance fees, guide fees, videographer fees? Do we book ahead or just walk in?
• Do guides teach basics like equalizing, or is that separate?

We just want the cheapest way to try it out without the full course. Any tips or recent experiences would help a lot!
