AIDA (Association Internationale pour le Développement de l'Apnée) is an internationally recognized organization that has been around for over three decades. AIDA courses follow a structured curriculum, focusing on knowledge, skills, and safety in freediving.
The AIDA system is divided into four levels: AIDA 1 (Introduction level), AIDA 2 (beginner level), AIDA 3 (advanced level) and AIDA 4 (master level). Each level builds upon the previous one, adding new techniques and deepening your understanding of freediving. AIDA also offers specialty courses like Monofin, Variable Weight, and No-Fins Freediving.
Founded by world-class freedivers Natalia Molchanova and her son, Alexey Molchanov, the Molchanovs system emphasizes a strong community and personal progression. It focuses on continuous development through an online platform called the "Base Training." With Molchanovs, you'll have access to a global community of freedivers, who motivate and support each other in their freediving journey.
Molchanovs courses are structured into three levels: Wave 1 (beginner level), Wave 2 (advanced level), and Wave 3 (master level). Each level consists of classroom sessions, pool training, and open water sessions. The system also incorporates specialized courses, such as the Lap 1 (pool training only) and the Tide 1 (safety and coaching).
By freediving with Freediving Seychelles, you'll not only receive top-notch freediving instruction but also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the beautiful island lifestyle.
In conclusion, both Molchanovs and AIDA offer exceptional freediving education. Your choice will ultimately depend on your personal preferences, learning style, and goals.
