FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before you start
Do I need to know how to swim to learn freediving? Yes. You don’t need to be an advanced swimmer, but you should feel comfortable and confident in the water. For the AIDA 2 course, students are required to be able to swim 200 meters continuously at their own pace.
How many students are there per course? At YOGA | APNEA, we work with a maximum of two students per instructor. This allows us to maintain a high standard of teaching, safety, and personalized attention throughout the course.
What happens if I don’t complete all the requirements of an AIDA course? Once you start an AIDA course, you have up to one year to complete the remaining requirements. If you are unable to meet all of them during your course, your instructor will provide documentation showing which requirements you have already completed and which are still pending. During that year, you can contact any AIDA instructor worldwide to complete only the outstanding requirements, without having to repeat the entire course.
What are the benefits of having an AIDA certification? AIDA 2 is the first complete freediving certification for beginners. Once certified, you will have the fundamental knowledge and skills to train with another freediver who holds the same or an equivalent certification, including how to provide safety and perform a rescue when necessary. Your certification also allows you to join training sessions with an instructor without having to take a complete course again, giving you the freedom to focus on specific skills, technique, depth, or personal goals.
