Theory starts Sunday 10th January 2010.
This course will be held in Dubai and Divers Down, Khor Fakkan (Sharjah) on the East Coast. The dive centre is based at the Oceanic Hotel.
Course price is 2900 DHS and includes training, student manual, boat dives and certification. It does not include equipment.
3 Star Course
This course is designed to continue a freediver’s training beyond the level of AIDA ** Freediver. The aim of this course is to help the student freediver develop the skills and knowledge necessary to plan and participate in freediving activities, independently with similarly experienced freedive buddies.
Basic course outline:
Maximum depth 30 metres – minimum 24 metres
The Knowledge development takes a while, about 4-5 hours, plus an exam. This is done over two days as it is quite intense.
Static/ dynamic sessions
Again, this can be done at one time, although sometimes for the 3 star it is better as 2 sessions, lasting 2 hours for the static and 1-2 for the dynamic
Open water training- 4 sessions over at least 2 days – a minimum of 4 days to complete the course.
