What our customers say
FAQs
What’s the difference between freediving and snorkeling?
Snorkeling stays at the surface, while freediving involves diving down on a single breath with training in breathing, equalization, and safety techniques.
How deep will I go in the course?
Depth goals vary: AIDA 1 (intro) focuses on shallow water; AIDA 2 may reach 12–20 m; AIDA 3 and higher train deeper with advanced safety methods.
Is freediving dangerous?
Freediving is safe when properly trained and supervised. We emphasize safety, buddy protocols, and never diving alone.
Can I train if I’m not certified yet?
Yes, beginners can start with an AIDA 1 course or an intro session to see if it’s right for them.
