MOLCHANOVS Courses

The Molchanovs Education system was created by the late Natalia Molchanova, known as the greatest freediver who ever lived. Natalia is the world's most titled free diver, with 42 freediving world records to her name.

The Molchanovs Freediving Education as we know it today is rooted in the original educational system created by Natalia. It has been further developed and updated by her son Alexey Molchanov, who is also a free diving world record holder. Alexey brought in some of the best freedivers and freediving trainers in the world to give us the most complete educational system available.

Mochanovs offers four levels of freediving courses. The first three levels are recreational freediving courses and are open to everyone who would like in-depth knowledge of freediving. The 4th level is more of an elite freediving course, an expert freediving level for competitive freedivers.

Molchanovs is more than an educational system though it is a community of like-minded free divers who support each other, share their experience and knowledge and even train together.

“It seemed inevitable that freediving was going to end up as a de facto subspecialty of scuba diving. The big scuba education organisations were moving into freediving with their fat marketing budgets, slick ads and huge dive center networks, and their advance seemed unstoppable. The purer freediving systems seemed outgunned by the big fishes that had unceremoniously entered our small corner of the ocean. We (Alexey Molchanov, Adam Stern and Chris Kim) talked about what the freediving world was missing and how a system that tied a first-rate education, community training and shared experiences was the future of freediving.” Chris Kim, CEO Molchanovs

Not only does Molchanovs help the freediver learn and train like one of the world's best, it also offers constant freediving training opportunities within a supportive community guided by top free divers. Joining the Molchanov Movement means having access to free diving training and content developed by the elite of freediving. It means learning and progressing together, belonging to a community that resembles you and understands you.
