Yes, you can hold certification from any agency. It is important that you are comfortable in water and developed safety skills that are taught in the certification courses.

It is highly recommend that you wear a wetsuit to enter the lakes or ocean in B.C. The average temperature here are around 6°C during winter, no more than 20°C (surface only) during even the hottest days of summer. Swim or freediving in such condition can be very risky unless you are very experienced with cold water. Wearing a well-fitted wetsuit with the proper thickness in order to stay comfortable and for long period of time.

Of course it is possible for you to buy all the gear and jump into the water like how swimmers do. But it will be extremely unsafe since without a course you will have no idea what happens to your body at depth, and how to safely practice freediving. Taking a course allows you to not only dive safely, but most importantly you will be able to dive longer, deeper, and enjoy your dive very comfortably.
