Freediving course - AIDA 1

Theory and dry exercises

Freediving physiology, breathing, relaxation, key safety rules and equalization basics, followed by dry breathing and relaxation exercises.

Static apnea

A progressive session to become familiar with breath-hold sensations, find relaxation and observe how your body responds.

Rescue and protocols

Learn surface rescue skills and the essential protocols for practicing freediving safely.

Depth

Two hours to explore free immersion and constant weight, and work on duck dives, finning, streamlining and relaxation. An instructor accompanies every dive.

Lunch break

A poke bowl at Ta’ahiamanu Beach: an hour to eat, recover and chat before the next session.

Three options to suit your needs

1. Dives and exploration. 90 minutes of guided descents along the reef drop-off.
2. Dry relaxation and equalization. Targeted exercises if equalization is still difficult.
3. Breathing and pulse. Explore different breathing rhythms, monitoring your pulse with a pulse oximeter to find the one that suits you.
