REGISTRATION PROCESS

IMPORTANT STEPS TO REGISTER FOR FREEDIVING COURSES, TRAINING SESSIONS OR LESSONS (coached sessions) WITH DEEP ZEN - KOSHO LOIC VUILLEMIN

STEP 1 - CHECK AVAILABILITY

Well, the integration of my calendar on my website is not working yet... sorry for that

In order to check my availability, you'll have to write me on whatsapp... don't worry, it's gonna be fun.

STEP 2 - BUY YOUR PLANE TICKETS AND POSSIBLY BOOK YOUR HOTEL

N.b: try to be quick :)

About Hotels and Airbnbs

Many of you have asked me if I can recommend hotels or Airbnbs. If your budget allows, I recommend booking a room at the Renaissance, which is at a stone's throw from the dive site. Avoid the Jaz Fanara, which is noisy and has bad reputation. It's important that you feel comfortable and can get some well-deserved rest after your lessons. Be aware that prices often vary from one booking app to another, so don't hesitate to do some research before booking if the idea is to save a little on the cost of your accommodation.

Easily accessible on foot from the dive site (and vice versa), you can also choose the Safir, which is very stylish and still offers reasonable prices.

About half or full board in hotels

Sharm el Sheikh hotels often offer full board. I don't think this is necessary, especially if the idea is to take full-time freediving courses. At Fanar Beach, the restaurant offers fresh fruit juices and quality dishes if you want to eat at lunchtime. My advice is to opt for half board if you wish. You can ask your hotel to prepare a doggy bag with your breakfast. I must remind you that it is always better to eat lightly before a freediving session or even to come to your course on an empty stomach if you can tolerate intermittent fasting.

Among the more affordable hotels, you have the Khan (25 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by taxi), the Falcon Hills, which is right next door, or the Amarsina, which is the next street over.

If you prefer to stay in an Airbnb, look in the Hadaba neighborhood, for example, near the Dahab Center, where you can easily do your shopping. Keep in mind that depending on the season, it can get quite hot, and walking in the full sun for more than 20 minutes can be a bit tiring.

In case you need a reminder of where the dive spot is located, here's my Google Map page:

About taxis and the inDrive app

You'll be honked at by taxis, that's the way it goes. Also know that prices often depend on the customer. It can become pretty boring.

Download the inDrive app and choose the driver who offers the best price. You'll pay in Egyptian pounds, so it's best to have the correct change to avoid drivers who will pretend they don't have any. InDrive is similar to Uber, it's very convenient.

There you have the basic information, and at this point, you know I'm available on the dates you're interested in. You have your plane ticket, and you may have booked your hotel.

STEP 3 - PAPERWORKS & ONLINE REGISTRATION FORM

Let's make sure we have all the required infos for the safest freediving adventures together.

You are asked to kindly answer the following questions. They are essential for the registration process, your safety and well being. There are a set of questions you'll answer online and some paperwork you need to go through.

To do that, just follow the process on this page and click RSVP

https://www.deepzen.net/event-details/registration-deep-zen-meditation-freediving

These questions and informations are mostly concerning:

Medical Statement: you must be in good shape to practice freediving

AIDA Liability Release: you are engaged with Deep Zen Freediving and therefore recognise AIDA can't be held responsible for damages or accidents.

Deep Zen registration form: of course we need to know a bit who you are before to jump in the waters of Sharm el Sheikh. We also want to draw your attention on certain point concerning responsability and safety.

Personal Datas for Insurances and AIDA registration: in order to assist you to get a specific diving insurance (if requested) and guide you through AIDA's registration process, we need to collect some essential datas about you.

STEP 4 - PAY YOUR REGISTRATION FEE

Please contact me again to confirm your trip and pay the registration fee.

Only after you have paid the registration fee will you be considered as enrolled for the dates you chose.

Thank you for understanding this important point. The registration fee is of course deducted from the total, so it is a deposit that is refundable according to certain criteria that you can find a bit above on this page.

STEP 5 - REGISTRATION IN AIDA EOS (if you've chosen AIDA course option)

Following the paperworks step, if you have opted for an AIDA certified course, I will register you on the platform where you can find the corresponding textbooks. I advise you to study this textbook and ideally to take the online exam before to come in Sharm el Sheikh. We'll be in contact anyways, i'll explain you...

STEP 6 - YOU'RE GOOD TO GO... HOW TO PREPARE?

If there's one thing I strongly advise against, it's embarking on this adventure alone. So don't venture out and test your freediving skills on your own before starting your course; it's the best way to injure yourself and ruin your course, if not your vacation.

Just eat a balanced, high-quality diet, drink plenty of water, and possibly take vitamins and minerals supplements before you arrive.

See you there
