Aida 1 Freediving course

It all starts with the first course. An interesting, exciting and relaxing day. The course is designed to familiarize you with all the basics of freediving.
We practice in the water and on land. Completely free of times, depths and distances. There is no test and no must. Even if your head is only 5 cm under water, that’s ok. That too is freediving. The course lasts one day.

The only requirement is that you can swim.

The course is perfect for you if …

  • … you want to get to know the fascination of freediving.
  • … You already like snorkeling and want “more”.
  • … As a water sports enthusiast, you generally want more safety. For example, as a surfer, you would like to be more relaxed when tumbling in the washing machine.

 We deal with the theoretical basics of apnea diving. In practice, you will learn preparatory breathing techniques for relaxed being in the water, relaxed air holding, relaxed descent and relaxed ascent. We deal with safety in the water. And of course you will learn how to accompany your buddies safely in the water.

You should plan a whole day or two half days for the course with theory, dry runs and practice in the water.

THE SMALL PRINT
The introductory course is for a minimum of 2 people or can be booked in combination with the AIDA 2 course. The price for AIDA 1 includes all diving equipment.

Experience with AIDA 1

I did AIDA 1 and 2 with Karsten and I absolutely recommend to everyone who enjoys being in the sea. I acquired good knowledge and a deeper and loving connection with sea, I learned that the success is related to relaxation. I loved the meditations in land and in the sea before each session.

Karsten has been patience with me and perfect teacher for showing me the correct way to perform. He really helps you to feel at home while you are at sea, including when I was doing the diving exercises. Every step forward felt natural and easy to do.

Also the places where we did the course are so beautiful and it is incredible the amount of fishes I could see and amazing landscapes. He also knows about fauna and explained me lot of things.

Thanks you Karsten, I hope I will come back soon to enjoy more free diving in El Hierro with you!

I did an AIDA 1-day workshop with my girlfriend during our vacation on El Hierro. We are both interested in breathing techniques and the water, but with Karsten we were able to have a great new experience in the depths that really impressed us both. Consciously relaxing in the water and thus being able to better perceive the wonderful underwater world of the Canary Islands also gave us a better experience during the rest of our vacation. We are thinking about diving further into freediving at home and learning even more about this special skill. Thank you very much and hope to see you soon! Max and Pia

Initial excitement and anxiety gave way immediately after the first dry runs. I would never have thought that relaxation and good instruction could make such a difference. And even less that I could hold my breath and submerge myself in the water for so long. It was a great experience and makes me want to keep going.
