Freediving Courses
Are you interested in learning how to freedive? Take freediving courses Or expand on your existing freediving knowledge? I teach courses of all levels, from Beginner all the way to Instructor . I also teach specialised courses focusing on specific disciplines, and run regular training camps for a more practical training experience.
If you’ve also taken a course in the past and would like to hone your skills through training, I also design personalised training programs along with 1 to 1 remote coaching. Flick through my freediving & courses to see what I offer.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
Molchanovs Education System
Taking a course is one of the best ways to learn new skills and expand your knowledge, however, it can be very difficult to develop your new found skills and understanding over a short space of time. Molchanovs have identified this and aimed to bridge the gap between courses and provide access to free, community based training guidance 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.
Wave Courses
