Deeper, quieter, freer.
AIDA2 and AIDA3 run with a minimum of 2 participants at every location. Booking alone? Sign up anyway: we register you and pair you with another student on nearby dates. If no second participant is found for that period, the course may not run.
For certified AIDA2 divers ready to go beyond fun depth: free-fall, Frenzel equalization, training structure and deep rescue, down to 24 m. This is the course where the descent stops being work and starts feeling like flight.
Physiology of depth, training tables and how to plan progression. Pool: 2:45 static and 55 m dynamic targets.
Frenzel check and drills, free-fall posture on the line, dives to 20 m, rescue from depth.
Consolidating free-fall, dives to 24 m, written exam and your training plan for what comes next.
Rental sizes are limited: tell us your height, weight and foot size when booking. If we can’t fit you, we arrange rental from a partner shop at cost. Okinawa site and boat fees vary by location — ask us for a quote.
Yes, via the AIDA2 Crossover Evaluation: one pool session, one open-water session and the AIDA2 written exam. AIDA doesn’t count these toward the course itself, so plan one extra day before the 3 course days.
If you pass the pool requirements (2:45 static, 55 m dynamic) but not the open-water ones, you are certified AIDA3 Advanced Pool Freediver and can come back to complete the depth part in a make-up session, paying only the facility fee.
That usually means Frenzel isn’t automatic yet — exactly what this course fixes. Dedicated Frenzel coaching is part of day one and two.
Structured training, and when you’re ready — AIDA4 and the path toward assisting and instructing.
Yes. AIDA2 and AIDA3 need 2 participants to run, at every location, but you can book alone: we register you as a solo booker and pair you with another student on nearby dates, then confirm. If nobody else signs up for that period, the course may not run — check the schedule page for dates that already have one person waiting.
