Day 1: Pool — Basics & Breathing
Your journey begins gently. On land, you'll discover how powerful a single calm breath can be. Then, in the pool, everything changes — floating weightless, you realize the water was never something to fear. It was always waiting for you.
Day 2: Pool — Technique & Confidence
Your second day in the pool. We focus on building rock-solid technique and true confidence. Repeating skills in a stable environment ensures that when you go to the ocean, your body already knows exactly what to do.
Day 3: Deep Pool (5m) — Equalization & Vertical Diving
Today you go vertical in our deep 5m pool. It feels like a secret rehearsal for the ocean — no waves, no currents, just you perfecting the move that unlocks the deep: equalization. By evening, it'll feel second nature.
Day 4: Open Water — Certification Dives
The boat takes you to crystal-clear water. With your strong pool foundation, you take one breath and glide down — 15… 20 meters. You surface with a Molchanovs certification — and a completely new version of yourself.
Program may vary slightly depending on student progress and specific needs.

"I came thinking I had a solid freediving background — but after 3 hours of theory on land, I realised I had so much more to learn. The best instructor I've ever had for explaining the fundamentals. He shared so many nuances and made me comp…"
"A wonderful coach, very attentive to detail. Every session covers the full picture: why we do this, what it does, how it connects. We regularly go on open water depth sessions — calm, thoughtful, never rushed. So grateful for every small ac…"
