BEFORE CONSIDERING TO FREEDIVE OR TO ENROLL FOR A FREEDIVING COURSE
Freediving is an incredible sport and the experience of depth while holding your breath is a life experience. The practice of pranayama and meditation, the pool exercises and stretching sessions will without doubt be amazing moments too. But you must understand that, like any other sports, freediving has its own risks.
Despite insurances and all safety measures that your instructor will take, his strong and recognised rescue skills, freediving remains a dangerous activity. To follow a course, you are expected to be in good fitness condition, to be a good swimmer and to be accustomed to snorkeling.
All courses, lessons, sessions of practice are featuring some paperworks. You will be asked to sign an assumption of risks and liability release document and to answer and sign a medical statement.
You may have to visit a doctor before to freedive. Please do if you have any doubts about your fitness condition.
What does your freediving course includes and what does it not?
All AIDA courses include the certification fees and a dedicated insurance.
If you have your own equipment it's definitely better to take it with you. We can, for AIDA courses or long stays exclusively, borrow you freediving equipment (mask and snorkel, wetsuit, socks and fins, weightbelt and weights) but it is better to check with us first to make sure we do have your size.
For regular training sessions, nothing is included except if we made specific arrangements prior your stay.
Entrance fees to Fanar Beach are at your own expenses. The cost is of 100 EGP for beach and facilities access.
Discover you Breath and Learn how to Hold it
Freediving courses in Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab and Worldwide
An incredible discovery of how to relax and breathe in order to achieve long breathols
Deep Zen Meditation and Freediving course "Discover your Breath" is a half day session during which you will discover new ways of breathing and start training your ability to hold your breath.
This course is specifically designed to be given on dry land only. It can also, upon request, be followed online (2 persons are then required).
The course starts with a little bit of theory about circulatory and respiratory systems. What are diaphragmatic contractions, what is the urge to breath, how to prepare a breathold and recover from it... All this is very important so you know what actually happens during a breathold. It's improving and deepening, i really advice you try this course if you've never gone into pranayama and breathold.
Then we'll switch to more practical exercises: you will prepare, perform, manage and recover from a breathold. Get through a warm up serie and try a maximal attempt with the help of the monk Kosho who will closely monitor you at all times.
Once relaxed, focused and ready, eventually helped by the smooth and relaxing coaching voice of your instructor you'll be able to hold your breath for long... actually much longer than you imagine. Most Deep Zen students are able to achieve a breathold that lasts more than 2 min 30 during their first maximum attempt.
A very nice, instructive and entertaining course for the beginners and the complete newbies. Designed for everyone, you don't need to specifically be attracted by freediving in the water. If you feel more like discovering what kind of mindsets exist beyond breathing and into the exercise of breathold , this course has been completely thought for you.
Warmly advised to anyone. Suitable for children.

PRICE: 50 euros per person

This course is the perfect introduction to what freediving is. During this day, or these two half days, you will get in touch with a bit of theory about freediving and about human physiology.

The results are always impressive and everybody gets enthusiastic about their own abilities. It's really great to realise how long one can hold his/her breath when doing it the right way.
