From your first calm breath-hold to teaching the sport yourself — internationally recognised AIDA and Molchanovs courses, run year-round for every level in the best conditions on earth.
Where you start
Freediving isn't about forcing yourself deeper — it's about relaxation, technique and trust. Every Blue Element course is built around that principle, with small groups and instructors who dive far deeper than anything you'll attempt in your program.
We teach both of the sport's leading curricula — the full AIDA pathway and the Molchanovs Wave system to Wave 4 — all the way to instructor level. Whether you've never held your breath underwater, you're chasing a personal best beyond 40 metres, or you want to teach the sport yourself, there's a clear, safe step for you here.
The pathway
Each course stacks on the last — available in both AIDA and Molchanovs (Wave) systems. Most divers begin at AIDA 2 / Wave 1, but if you're brand new, AIDA 1 is the perfect, pressure-free introduction.
