Freediving Masters Course
An intensive course in which we will go through a process, train and learn for about five weeks in order to maximize our potential as free divers.
We will take a break from our normal daily lives and focus solely on freediving: we will train properly, eat properly, sleep properly, and all of this will improve our comfort and technique as freedivers and transform us from amateurs to professionals in everything related to the field.
With the help of all this, we will discover and break new records.
The course is divided into "wet" days and "dry" days.
Each week there will be 4 wet days where we will dive and work in the water on technique, different styles in free diving, pressure equalization, rescue, and more.
On the dry day, there will be theory classes/dry practices and one day a week will be dedicated to freedom. In addition, every morning the masters begin a morning routine designed to improve their skills.
The "Masters Course" is a unique and one-of-a-kind program in the Land of Israel. With the close guidance of the master instructors at the Israel Freediving School, a specific training program will be tailored to the needs of each freediver, bringing the diver to the highest level according to his personal abilities.
We will specialize in various techniques and all styles of free diving (except No Limitis) and acquire extensive and in-depth knowledge in the field of free diving as a way of life.
This course is suitable for any diver who has completed the ADVANCED FREEDIVER course (or any equivalent course from another international freediving organization), whether he wants to continue on to an instructor course and work in the field or whether he wants to join the competitive side of the field, or like most of our trainees who simply fell in love with the sea and want to be more professional and experience every dive site in its entirety without any need for equipment and live the world of freediving at all levels: training, nutrition, breathing, physical activity.
Upon completion of the MASTER FREEDIVER course, the diver will receive an international certification certificate and a personal email with internet access to all the material learned in the course in order to retain their knowledge.
