Learn to Freedive with Dean Chaouche

The wave 3 course is where you learn the most advanced freediving techniques and knowledge to take your free diving to the next level.

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.

Wave 3

In this advanced course, you learn to equalize below your residual volume to achieve greater depth performances and to hold your breath for over three and a half minutes. Topics include advanced relaxation techniques such as attention deconcentration and an introduction to deep Frenzel and mouthfill equalization. If you are taking the Wave 3 course, you are taught how to train in preparation to freedive comfortably to a depth of 34-40m (112-131 feet) in open water. Following the completion of Wave 3, you are permitted to act as an assistant in Molchanovs Wave and Lap courses (conditions apply) and you may also participate in a Molchanovs Instructor Course.

The Wave 3 Course runs over 5 days and includes:

• 5 x Theory session

• 2 x pool training session

• 4 x dive sessions
