Freediving Theory is invaluable. Full stop.

Imagine you have never done a freediving course before but you love snorkeling and can touch the bottom of the ocean on a breath hold. The plan is to get certified/better at it. As a beginner it is hard to understand how to judge teaching standards. Therefore, instead of looking at Instructor credentials or the school’s reputation and such things, your dream holiday destination will be the factor that drives decision making. Right, not for everyone, but in my experience the majority will first decide where to go and make a vacation out of it.

Health and Fitness for freedivers

If you are new or even an old hat in freediving you will have heard how stretching your body is advantageous in our sport. Here we discuss a few reasons why it is so important not just for a freediver but for our overall health and fitness.

Lets first look at the term 'Health' and 'Fitness'.

I find that the term 'fitness' has a poorly defined dictionary explanation. It is entirely inadequate for such a complex subject that defines our human state.

AIDA International have posted on Facebook about the long awaited revision of the AIDA Education standards.

We are pleased to see that our alumni Oli Christen and Yoshua Surjo have played a significant role in the recreation of the AIDA standards and if you have taken a course with us or with them, then you will recognise where their influence has come in.
