Introduction to Freediving | Molchanovs Wave 1

S$560

 

Probably the most rewarding and challenging course which covers the core fundamentals of freediving, following the Molchanovs Wave 1 syllabus.

A great starting point for people who are already very comfortable in the water. For example, you may consider taking this course if you are an experienced snorkeler, scuba diver or swimmer.

The course will begin with independent study online, followed by a theory session with an instructor, covering these topics: 

  • Freediving physiology
  • The physics of freediving
  • Equipment
  • Different freediving disciplines
  • Safety 

 

From there we will move to a pool session where you will learn breathing and equalisation exercises, as well as practise static and dynamic disciplines. 

On the second day of the course, we will travel to Lazarus Island to practise depth and equalization. On the successful completion of the course, you will receive your Molchanovs Wave 1 freediver certification.

The cost is $560 per person for a group lesson. This includes the cost of transportation to and from Lazarus Island and the use of equipment.
