Wave 1/Lap 1
Learn to Freedive with Dean Chaouche
The wave one Freediving course is where you begin your journey. This course lays the foundation on which you will build on throughout your freediving.
During the course you will be taught how to relax through the mind and body by enhancing your understanding of the breath and by learning what happens to the body when we hold our breath. You will also be taught how to move through the water efficiently, while instilling a strong foundation of safety
Molchanovs Education
Taking a Freediving Course is one of the best ways to learn new skills and expand your knowledge, however, it can be difficult to develop your new found skills over a short space of time or between courses. Molchanovs have identified this and aimed to bridge the gap by providing access to free, community based training guidance and access to community meet ups upon completion of a course.
Molchanovs Freediving Education can take you from learning the basics of freediving through to an elite competition freediver. There are four open water course levels, each of which is known as a Wave. All levels are also available as Lap courses. Lap courses cover the same theory and pool requirements as the corresponding Wave course but do not include open water sessions. Therefore, a Lap certification only certifies you to freedive in a pool. It does not certify you to freedive to depth in open water. You can easily convert a Lap certification to the corresponding Wave certification at a later date by adding the open water sessions.
