Don’t have a whole week? Want to organize your own accommodation and food or want to have a more private experience? Between June and October we offer individual AIDA courses outside of the week long Freedive Bootcamp experiences. If all you want is to learn freediving and get certified then you can join us at any time to do an AIDA2 or AIDA3 course with us.
About AIDA & Molchanov
AIDA (International Association for the Development of Apnea) is a worldwide rule and record-keeping body for competitive breath holding events, also known as freediving. It sets standards for safety, comparability of Official World Record attempts and freedive education. What PADI is for Scuba diving, AIDA is for freediving. Wherever you go on this planet, it is likely you will find AIDA teachers and schools with whom you can do the next AIDA course or just go train.
By the way: During our week long Freedive Bootcamp experiences you will receive a Molchanov Wave 1 certificate free of extra charge. Below you can find options in case you only want to do an individual AIDA/Molchanov course with us.
The Molchanovs Freediving Education System is the most modern and comprehensive freediving system to date. The Molchanovs Freediving Education will teach you freediving, from the basics of breath-hold and water skills through to an elite competition freediver. There are four open water course levels, each of which is known as a Wave. All levels are also available as Lap courses. Lap courses cover the same theory and pool requirements as the corresponding Wave course but do not include open water depth sessions.
