LAUFEND NEUE KURSE AIDA *Freediver Course Outline
To enrol in the AIDA *Freediver course, an individual must: COURSE PURPOSE
This course is designed to be an introduction to freediving for the
complete beginner. It aims to help the student to develop basic
skills, knowledge and safety procedures necessary to enjoy
freediving safely within the limits of their experience. This course
is not aimed towards competitive freediving but for recreational
freediving only. Therefore the main focus in the course is
freediving without a dive line and without dividing the skills into
different competitive disciplines. The dives can be combinations of
horizontal and vertical swimming. To conduct an AIDA *Freediver
course, the following knowledge development, breath hold exercise
and water session are to be included: KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT This presentation will take place in a classroom-like environment. The knowledge development should be conducted using the AIDA *Freediver Powerpoint slides. AIDA Instructors may supplement these slides with any updated information such as information specific to freediving in the local area.
You may find it useful to have other reference books handy such as
an anatomy atlas, freedive DVDs, magazine articles or reference
books. Students should be provided with a hand-out of the slides to
take away for future reference.

This session may be conducted in a deep swimming pool or in open
water. The student freediver should have access to either a pool side or floatation device to support them on surfacing. In open water, the maximum depth of the freedives should be fixed by the instructor based on the students’ ability and limited to not more than 10m. The student should use bi-fins for all the dives. After this session the student freediver will be able to:
•
Demonstrate how to prepare and don equipment for freediving. The

training dives is four students per instructor (4:1). This may rise
to six students per instructor (6:1) when the instructor is assisted
by another freediver qualified to at least AIDA **** level. The
maximum student diver-to-instructor ratio in confined water is eight
students per instructor (8:1). With an AIDA **** Freediver acting as
an Assistant, 4 additional students may be added to this ratio to a
maximum of 12 students. ADMINISTRATION AND PAPERWORK Before commencing any in-water training, each student freediver must complete the following documents, for students aged under 18 years, both must be co-signed by a parent or guardian:
