Description
🌊 Who is this for?
All certified Freedivers (Advanced Freediver/Aida3) are welcome to join!
🧭 An Advanced Journey – Technique & the Self
This is an advanced-level course that goes beyond physical skills — it’s also a journey inward.
More refined techniques, deeper control, and clearer awareness.
Once you pass this stage, you’ll begin to feel it:
The ocean and the self are not separate — they merge, and resonate as one.
"Freediving is a challenge with yourself.
There’s no one else in that dive but you."
