About AIDA Courses
Try a freediving course to experience an exciting and very natural way of diving! Freediving has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. It allows divers to explore the beauty of the underwater world in one breath! Freediving forces us to be present in the moment, and when you slide underwater, your “land life” is put on hold, and the instant calming effect of a quiet mind becomes convincingly obvious.
Get your very first taste of freediving and enjoy the freedom it offers with a discover freediving session. Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you've always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Taking Discover Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.
1 day course is an introduction to freediving during which you will learn theory, how to freedive and feel relaxed and safe under the water. You will learn proper finning technique, equalization, breathing & relaxation.
