Two days of individual instruction to build the skills, understanding and confidence to begin freediving safely. No group timetable. No pressure to keep up.
Freediving is a skill you build, not a depth you chase. We take the time to understand how you move, breathe and respond in the water, then work through the fundamentals at a pace that makes sense for you.
I'm Ian Donald, founder of FreediveUK and an AIDA instructor trainer. I've been teaching freediving since 2009. Private instruction lets me give you the time and attention that can be difficult to find on a scheduled group course.
A one-hour call to cover the basics, talk through equalisation, answer questions and prepare for the days ahead.
Individual tuition covering breath-hold fundamentals, safety, technique and confident progression. We adjust to your needs and conditions.
A 30-minute conversation after the course to revisit your progress, answer questions and plan your next steps.
We work through the AIDA Level 2 syllabus with safety and good habits at the centre of the day. If you meet the required performance and safety standards, you can gain the internationally recognised AIDA Level 2 certification.
There is no guarantee of a qualification simply for attending. The priority is leaving with a sound foundation, clear feedback and a better understanding of your own diving.
For a thorough foundation, I recommend the two-day course. If you'd prefer to get a feel for freediving first, there's a one-day introduction too.
Time to learn, practise and develop the fundamentals properly.
Two full days of one-to-one tuition, with a one-hour pre-course video session and a 30-minute follow-up review.
Includes equipment hire, dive-site entry and AIDA certification fees where certification is achieved. Training follows the AIDA Level 2 syllabus, with certification dependent on meeting the required standards.
Dates and locations are agreed directly around conditions and your goals.

One full day of one-to-one tuition, tailored to your experience and confidence, with a 30-minute planning call beforehand.
We'll focus on the core skills, safety and technique that make for a sound introduction. It's a standalone introductory day, not a shortened AIDA Level 2 qualification course.
If you enjoy it and want to continue, we can discuss the next steps afterwards.
