PREREQUISITES To enrol in the AIDA Deep Tank Freediver course, an individual must:
•
Be 18 years of age or older (16 years with parent or guardian
consent) COURSE PURPOSE The AIDA Deep Tank Freediver course is a beginners freediving course. The purpose of the course is to familiarise freedivers with the skills, knowledge, planning, organisation, safety procedures, techniques, problems, hazards and enjoyment of breath hold freediving in a safe environment, such as the SETT Tank at Gosport in the UK or NEMO 33 in Brussels. Students will be introduced to the following disciplines of freediving; Static Apnea, Constant Weight and Free Immersion freediving. The course is NOT aiming toward competitive freediving and shall not include competition rules and regulations. The static session is to be used to teach breathing, relaxation and safety techniques. In the Dive sessions the student will learn the basic skills of OW freediving such as equalizing, duck diving, vertical swimming and body positioning. This course is based on the AIDA **Freediver course. A student with the AIDA Deep Tank Freediver certification can be upgraded to an AIDA ** Freediver after completing the dynamic session and one OW session from the AIDA **Freediver course.
To conduct an AIDA Deep Tank Freediver course, the following
knowledge development, static apnea and tank dives are to be
included: KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT The knowledge development will take place in a classroom-like environment. A minimum of 2 theory sessions should be taught and these should be a minimum duration of 2 hours per session. The knowledge development should be conducted using the AIDA ** Freediver Powerpoint slides. Students should be provided with a hand-out of the slides to take away for future reference and to use to prepare for their exam. AIDA Instructors may supplement these slides with any updated information such as current world records or 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. The AIDA **Freediver exam must be completed by any student certified as an AIDA Deep Tank Freediver. The passing score is 75%. Any missed questions should be explained to the student and the student must sign the bottom of the exam to indicate that this has taken place. If the student does not pass the exam on first sitting, they may resit after 24 hours.
