AN INTERNATIONAL FREEDIVING SCHOOL
IN THE HEART OF ITALY

Introductory and advanced courses with AIDA International, the most modern and recognized freediving agency worldwide. Upon request we can also teach Molchanovs courses.

In these courses you will learn how to enjoy freediving safely, as well as the basics of freediving technique and equalization. 

• AIDA 1 (up to 10mt)
• AIDA 2 (up to 20mt)
• AIDA 3 (up to 30mt)
• AIDA 4 (up to 40mt)
• AIDA Monofin freediver

You will have the chance to practice all main freediving disciplines (depth, dynamics, statics), and you will practice stretching, relaxation and breathing techniques for freediving.

→ Courses can be taught fluently both in English and in Italian

→ We organize both short courses (e.g. over a weekend) as well as longer ones (3-4 months), depending on available time and goals.

→ Whenever possible we try and organize all of our activities by the sea, instead of the pool. For example, we love to do statics at the sunset in natural rocky “tubs” by the sea, which date back to the Etruscan and Roman age. Definitely nicer than staring at pool tiles!

→ Depending on the skills we will develop together, it is possible to get certified for both the base and advanced levels in one go

→ Already holding a freediving certification? You can crossover to AIDA and go on with more advanced courses.

Sharing a buoy with others is fun, but sometimes you may prefer the dedicated attention of an instructor: we can make that happen.

Get in touch with us: we will design a custom solution for your needs.

We can design activities for a single person or groups, focused on relaxation, meditation, breathing, yoga, and every freediving discipline of course!

Private courses can be arranged at our place, on your boat, or elsewhere (e.g. at your company headquarters).

If you are passionate about teaching and freediving and would like to try and make a living out of your passion for the sea and for this sport, we can guide you towards becoming a professional  AIDA Instructor.

We will teach you all the secrets of this profession, and help you get your own freediving school started from scratch.

We will also make sure to cover all those aspects that are not usually part of an instructor course, but a new instructor has to deal with on a daily basis.

Get in touch, we will find the best solution for you!

If you are already a certified freediver you are welcome to join our training sessions in the pool, sea, or at Y-40 (deep thermal pool).

To descend safely and comfortably, freedivers need to learn equalization maneuvers, that allow them to release the pressure building up on their eardrums.

Equalization is smooth and intuitive for some, more difficult for others, but at some point of their freediving journey (be it at 5mt or at 50mt) one usually needs to improve their equalization awareness and skills in order to progress.

Standard courses are sometimes limited in terms of equalization content, that’s why we have studied this topic in depth to offer you everything you need to improve and fix your equalization, from beginners to pros.

Safety is an absolute must in our discipline. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, knowledge is never enough when it comes to safety.

When it comes to freediving safety, our staff has first-hand experience at the highest level: we have been in the safety teams of the most important competitions in the world, i.e. a number of World Championships (both AIDA and CMAS) as well as in the Vertical Blue.

We are certified and constantly updated: you can expect protocols and safety procedures coming straight from the most prestigious competition scenarios, so we know how to support even the most difficult dives.

We offer a couple different courses you can take:

• AIDA Competition Safety Freediver by Vertical Blue Professional Safety Freediver (base/advanced)
• DAN PBLSD
• DAN Oxygen Provider
• DAN Advanced Oxygen Provider
• PSS First AID and CPR
• PSS Oxygen in diving emergencies

Some of these courses can be followed online, remotely and in a self-paced mode.

You can enroll in our coaching program to improve your specific freediving skills and solve any issue you might be facing with your freediving (equalization, relaxation, technique, training… you name it!).

This can be done remotely as well!

A new and innovative journey into the world of ethical spearfishing!
