Divas in Dubai

The AIDA ** free diver course is an introduction into the thrilling world of Snorkelling and Freediving. It is a basic freediving course designed to cover the necessary skills and knowledge for a non-competitive recreational freediver to safely freedive with or without a guide line. It is aimed at students who are already confident snorkelling and freediving and who would like to increase their freediving depth range to a maximum of 3 ATA (20 metres).

Price of course 1950 AED – and includes a viewing of William Trubridge’s latest documentary called Breathe which is a 36 minute overview on William’s success as a world champion freediver.

My courses are for a maximum of 4 people at a time so you will not be in a crowd of people. The course is structured similarly to a scuba diving entry level course, where you will do theory first, then a pool session, and then we go to the open sea. There is a buoy attached to the dive boat, with a line that drops down from it, which we use a guide and reference to practice your freediving technique.

I will teach you how to dive holding your breath safely and efficiently, and include rescue and safety techniques in the course. The 2 star course covers pool freediving disciplines (static and dynamic apnea) and the constant weight discipline and free immersion disciplines in the sea.
