Advanced Freediving

The Molchanovs Wave 2 Advanced Freediver Course builds on Wave 1, equipping you to progress safely to greater depths or distances. The course focuses on refining Frenzel equalization, enhancing breathwork for longer and more comfortable breath holds, and understanding the physiological effects of pressure. You’ll also learn advanced safety and rescue techniques, mindfulness practices for relaxation, monofin techniques for improved propulsion, and refine your no-fins diving skills. Upon successful completion, you’ll be prepared to dive up to 30 meters with confidence, awareness and technique..
