We recommend avoiding large meals before your course to prevent energy and oxygen being diverted to digestion, which you'll need for breath holds.
However, do eat something, as low blood sugar can negatively impact your freediving performance.
Freediving, like any sport, carries risks if safety measures are not followed. It is completely safe as long as you never dive alone and have been properly trained.
To ensure safety, we regularly practice rescue procedures, and all our instructors hold safety qualifications in addition to their freediving certifications.
Participants must complete a medical health form to identify any conditions that could affect their safety. If any medical issues are present, a signed release from a doctor is required.
Anyone in good health can safely enjoy freediving, and we are committed to teaching the sport responsibly.
Once you have completed your AIDA 1 then you are able to take your AIDA 2 straight away.
However we do advise you to spend some time practicing the skills learned before attempting the AIDA 2 as in order to pass the AIDA 2 you have to meet certain requirements/test.
You can work on you skills at one of our training blocks which are designed for those that have completed AIDA 1 and are looking to progress.
In order to become an AIDA 1 certified freediver you must attend the whole course (1 day) and show competency in understanding the basic knowledge and safety skills for freediving, including LMC and surface black out rescues. (There are no breath hold, depth, dynamic apnea or written tests for the AIDA 1)
I had an amazing time learning from Alison and Max. They were fantastic instructors and I was surprised how long I could breath hold with their tuition. I plan to train more with them in future on a Monday night. Only improvements were we had a bit of a wait…
