The AIDA 1 course is a great starting point for anyone curious about freediving or looking to explore the underwater world in a safe and relaxed way. By the end, you’ll feel comfortable holding your breath and diving to a shallow depth with a buddy. Over the course, you’ll:
- Discover Freediving Basics: Learn about breath control, relaxation, basic equalization and how your body works when diving.
- Confined Water Training: Practice breath-hold and finning underwater to improve your relaxation, breath control, and comfort.
- Open Water Introduction: Experience your first open water dives, applying your new skills safely with a buddy.
This course offers two options: complete it in one day (pool session only, no certification) or in two days (pool and open water, certification included).
