Learn freediving step by step — from your first breath-hold to advanced depth.
Structured progression from beginner to advanced
Start from your current level — I will guide you to the right course.
Start with your first full freediving certification
Learn freefall and deeper, more efficient diving
Master deeper dives, safety, and control
Transition into AIDA with a crossover day
Your first full certification — built with structure, calm progression, and real understanding.
This course is designed to give you clarity and confidence — not just pass a certification. You’ll understand what you’re doing and why, so you can progress safely after the course.
Most AIDA 2 courses are completed in around 2.5 days.
This course is structured over 4 days, allowing more time in the water, more repetition, and a calmer progression — so skills are built, not rushed.
Structured over 4 days instead of the typical ~2.5 day format — giving you time to learn, adapt, and improve between sessions.
Additional pool and depth sessions allow you to repeat and refine each skill instead of moving on too early.
Introduction to CNF and DNF to improve body awareness, technique, and control — even though they are not part of the standard AIDA 2 curriculum.
Individual feedback, structured sessions, and a calm learning pace focused on real progress — not performance pressure.
Across my experience teaching more than 600 students since 2019, a significant number of AIDA 2 students struggle to pass — most often due to equalization difficulties. In my own teaching, this has consistently been around 35–40%.
Not because students can’t learn it — but because there simply isn’t enough time to properly teach and practice equalization within a compressed course.
Equalization is one of the most technical and individual skills in freediving. Under time pressure, students often don’t get the guidance or repetition needed to truly understand and control it.
That is why this course is structured over 4 days — to give you time to actually learn, not just try.
If you already struggle with equalization, or have a strong habit of using Valsalva, I strongly recommend starting with a 1:1 Frenzel coaching session before the course. Changing equalization habits takes time — and even 4 days may not be enough without proper preparation.
4-day course structure
This course is structured over 4 days to give you more time in the water, more repetitions, and a calmer learning pace than the compressed 2.5-day format used in many centers.
