AIDA 1*

By far, the easiest way to start freediving is to enroll on a course. Learning to snorkel or basic apnea diving is offered by many different organisations, but AIDA is an organisation conceived solely for the development of freediving. AIDA courses cover levels from a complete beginner to very advanced and competitive level freediving. AIDA courses are taught in many languages all over the world and thousands of new divers have found the passion of freediving through us. On an AIDA course, you will learn what freediving is, how to do it, how to get the most out of your performance and most importantly - how to do it safe.

On AIDA * Freediver, you will learn the very basics of freediving. What is freediving, what kind of equipment is needed. How to get started, what are the main risks and how to counter them. You will learn the basics of diving in the pool as well as open water. AIDA * is recommended for students with no previous diving experience.
