The AIDA 2 course includes AIDA level 1, so you do not need to complete the try freediving course to start. This course focuses on developing the fundamental skills needed to become a safe and competent freediver. It is conducted over 3 days or 5 mornings.

During training, you will participate in both static and dynamic sessions, learning essential techniques such as relaxation, breathing, finning, and safety. You will also gain skills in deep diving up to 20 meters, breath-hold times of over 2 minutes, dynamic apnea distances of over 40 meters, rescue from depth, advanced buddy skills, and line diving with lanyards.

In the open-water sessions, you will apply these skills alongside fundamental freediving techniques like equalizing, duck diving, vertical swimming, body positioning, turns, and buoyancy control.

The theory component covers an introduction to freediving, the freediving breathing cycle, basic physiology, equalization techniques, safety procedures, equipment, and different freediving disciplines.
