Service Description

The AIDA-Apnea International level1 "Discover Freediving" course is typically an introductory program designed for individuals who are new to the world of freediving. Freediving is a water activity that involves diving underwater on a single breath without the use of external breathing apparatus like scuba tanks. It emphasizes breath control, relaxation, and efficient diving techniques. The Discover Freediving Course is a way for beginners to get a taste of what freediving is all about, and it's often offered by certified freediving schools or instructors. Here's what you might expect from such a course: 1. Introduction to Freediving: The course will start with an overview of what freediving is, its history, and its basic principles. This might include discussing the physiological aspects of breath-holding, equalization techniques, and safety considerations. 2. Theory and Safety: Understanding the physiology of freediving, equalization techniques, breathing principles, and safety measures are typically covered in the theoretical part of the course. 3. Breathing Techniques: Participants learn specific breathing exercises to improve breath-holding capacity and control. 4. Equipment Familiarization: Introduction to basic freediving equipment such as masks, snorkels, fins, and wetsuits, and how to use them effectively. 5. Basic Skills: freediving skills such as duck diving, finning techniques, and body positioning in the water. 6. Equalization Training: Techniques for equalizing pressure in the ears and sinuses, a crucial skill for freedivers as they descend. 7. Confined Water Sessions: Practical sessions in a controlled environment (like a pool or shallow water) where participants can practice the learned skills under the guidance of an instructor. 8. Safety Protocols: Emphasis on safety measures, buddy systems, and emergency procedures in case of any issues during a dive.
