WHAT WILL YOU ACHIEVE DURING AN AFD?
In only 3 days, you will be aware of your aquatic potential.
Upon completion of this Advanced Freediver Course, you will be surprised to achieve depths of over 30 metres and breath-holds of more than 3 minutes.
Our specific preparation for deep dives, together with the most advanced breathing techniques, will make this possible even for newcomers.
AFD COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Advanced Freediver course takes 3 days and is divided into 3 academic sessions (knowledge development and breathing techniques), 1 pool session and 2 deep water sessions.
The course includes static apnea when you will hold your breath for over 3 minutes. You may think this is impossible but believe us, it is not. Our instructors will introduce you to your aquatic abilities and teach you the specific techniques to develop them.
During our deep diving water sessions, you will progressively achieve new depths with knowledge and comfort. Our experienced instructor will be by your side at all times while under the water. Under his guidance, you will learn to relax and apply the proper techniques to achieve these depths.
This course will give you a better understanding of the physiological changes happening during free diving. You will learn to use these changes to improve your underwater performances. You will discover your physical and mental limits and learn how to safely go beyond them.
Upon successful completion of the Advanced Freediving Course, you will be certified as an Apnea Total Advanced Freediver. We will send online access to the Apnea Total course materials for this specific certification course.
