The Molchanovs Wave 3 course is a semi-professional level course designed for advanced freedivers who wish to refine their skills and deepen their understanding of the sport.

- Advanced Freediving Physics & Physiology: Dive deep into the physics and physiology of freediving, learning how your body adapts to pressure at depth, oxygen management, and the effects of gas exchange during deep dives. Understand how to train your body to maximize performance while diving safely.
- Deepen Mental Relaxation & Focus: Learn advanced mental relaxation techniques to improve your ability to stay calm, focused, and relaxed at greater depths. These techniques are essential for managing stress and optimizing performance during deep dives.

- Confined & Open Water Practice: Enhance your skills in both controlled and open water environments, focusing on deeper dives, complex equalization practices, and real-world safety scenarios. You will also learn to guide and support others during their dives, gaining experience in both personal and instructional roles.
