Skill Development

A Freediving coaching is a coached freediving training. The coaching is not theoretical as such, and you enhance your knowledge through practice. The needs, interests, and goals of the freediver shape the coaching session.

Coaching, as a tool for improvement, relies mainly on the diving knowledge acquired during a freediving course or developed through experience. Coaching is about applying knowledge correctly. The instructor assesses your competence underwater and corrects what needs correction. Coaching is a way to boost your performance.

Coaching, as a means to an end, focuses on the specific goal you aim to achieve, the particular skill you seek to master or the confidence you wish to develop underwater. The instructor assesses your current skills and provides you with guidance and instruction to reach your goal. You will progress with each dive, and you will emerge from the coaching session a better freediver. 

The workshop, like the coaching, is customized. The range of topics covered is extensive, and in fact, there are virtually no limitations per se: breathing techniques, equalization techniques, diet and nutrition, safety protocols, pre-dive preparation, etc. Our instructor is highly experienced and well versed in freediving and all that it entails. 

Unlike coaching, a workshop will always include a comprehensive academic session. A workshop can be purely theoretical and is then referred to as a dry workshop. The choice to opt for a dry workshop may be dictated by the workshop's topic, lack of time, or an inability to get to sea. 

When the workshop has both a theoretical and a practical part, it will always start with knowledge development. You will assimilate the knowledge through in-water training in confined water or open water. The practical training is similar to coaching in that the freediving instructor will guide the correct application of the acquired knowledge.
