Advanced Freediver Course

As a Molchanovs Wave 2 Advanced Freediver, you will embark on an even deeper exploration into freediving, building upon the foundations laid in our Level 1 Freediver course.

During the Wave 2 course, you will extend your limits further, delving into depths of up to -30m.

​

In addition to honing your physical skills, you will delve into the theoretical aspects of freediving. You will learn about the rich history of freediving, its origins, evolution, and its current state. Delve deeper into the physics of freediving, exploring concepts such as Dalton’s law and Henry’s law, and their crucial role in ensuring safe freediving practices. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the adaptations of the human body to depth and distance dives.

​

Your breathing education will continue to evolve as you refine the Frenzel equalisation through specialised drills, tips, and guidance.

​

As you progress, mental training will become a focal point, introducing mindfulness techniques tailored to different contexts. You will also receive education on injuries related to freediving in the middle ear, inner ear, sinuses, and lungs, learning both preventive measures and treatment protocols.

​

Safety will be elevated to a new level, with detailed discussions on blackouts, decompression illness, and strategies for avoidance. You will master advanced rescue techniques, ensuring that safety remains paramount throughout your freediving journey.
