As an official AIDA Freediving School, all of our courses follow the internationally recognised standards, ensuring you receive a certification that is respected worldwide. You will find the official requirements and schedule outlined below.
What makes learning with us different is everything that happens beyond those standards. We believe that lasting progress comes from relaxation and awareness rather than force and effort. Throughout your course, you will receive personalized coaching that integrates mindful breathing, relaxation techniques, movement efficiency and emotional awareness alongside technical skill development.
Whether you're taking your very first breath-hold or taking your next step on your freediving journey, our wish is to help you become not only a certified freediver, but a calmer, safer, and more conscious one.

EQUALIZATION COACHING
Equalization is often the key that unlocks deeper, safer, and more enjoyable freediving. Through the SHARE Equalization Method, we provide a structured pathway for mastering advanced equalization techniques and developing reliable performance at depth.
The coaching process combines technical understanding, mobility work, dry exercises, personalized assessment, and progressive training strategies adapted to your individual needs.
Available both online and in person, this program supports divers experiencing equalization limitations as well as advanced athletes seeking greater consistency and efficiency during deep dives.
When combined with in-water coaching, equalization training becomes fully integrated into your diving practice, accelerating learning and helping translate dry training into real-world performance.
