AIDA3
LONGER, FURTHER, DEEPER
Why an AIDA3 course?
If you have mastered the AIDA2 course, improved your skills and would like to improve your new superpowers in freediving, then you can deepen your knowledge with this course. You will learn how to create your own O2 and CO2 breathing tables, find out more about what CO2 tolerance is in this context and how the hypoxic range can be better trained. The biggest highlight will then be experienced during deep diving with the so-called free fall, where you no longer have to move and simply sink. It is a feeling that can literally be described as flying. The only thing you should then do is equalize the pressure.
Here too, the requirements that you do not fulfill within the course, for example, can be met later. You have a whole year to fulfill them and become certified.
What we always recommend, however, is not to test your skills in this course, but to register for the course already prepared. Training with buddies or our coaching for the depth in Apostelsee or Matschelsee near Freiburg is a good option, as the pool requirements are usually not the obstacle, but the pressure equalization and the feeling for the depth.

Course description for an AIDA3 course
Before our first meeting, or at the latest on the first day, we start with a short round of introductions, as in the AIDA2 course, followed by an introduction to the theory. As usual, you will learn everything you need to know for this course. We will do a stretching session, which we will combine with breathing exercises. Then you can get active and we will get ready for the whole day in the pool, because we have to meet more requirements than in the first course and that takes time. We will do time diving (static) and distance diving. You will notice that the focus is even more on safety.
After a fortifying lunch break, we then drive to the lake (Apostelsee near Ettenheim or Matschelsee near Lahr) for an introduction to deep diving.
On the second and third day we start early at the lake with the requirements for deep diving. To equalize the pressure, you will be even more aware of the free fall experience. Please read the notes below, that would be an advantage. As you can probably read, the requirements for the lake are a pretty long list with lots of dives, so it is advisable to be well equipped with food, as the days can be a bit longer. We start every day at 9:00 a.m. and go into the relaxing evening around 5:00 p.m.
Pressure equalization is our seal of quality!
If you are not sure, we also offer our
Pressure equalization checkup or online coaching.
This way you are on the safe side.
Retest before you register for the AIDA3
- Put one hand on your stomach and with the other hand hold your nose
- Makes pressure equalization
What happened? Can you feel your abdominal muscles equalizing the pressure?
If so, you are still "Valsalva", if not, you are either "Frenzeling" or "Handsfree".
I support you with several years of experience as an apnea instructor and record diver
on your further journey into the world of freediving.
WE ARE HAPPY LOOKING FORWARD
