AIDA 2 STAR

BEGINNER FREEDIVING LIPE

2 or 3 DAYS

12-20 METERS

1-4 STUDENTS

The AIDA 2 course is perfect for beginners looking to gain the skills and confidence to dive autonomously and safely with a buddy. By the end, you’ll be able to hold your breath for 2 minutes and dive comfortably to a depth of 12-20 meters. Over the course, you’ll:

  1. Learn Freediving Fundamentals: physics and physiology, understand essential techniques like breath control and equalization, and how your body responds underwater.
  2. Confined Water Training: practice static and dynamic apnea to improve your breath-hold and swimming abilities.
  3. Open Water Experience: apply your skills in free immersion and constant weight dives, while mastering safety procedures and buddy rescues.
