Freedive Dahab

 

Apnoetauchen/Freediving
Mit einem Atemzug in die Tiefe

Kontakt: info@dahab.net

Das Apnoetauchen hat in den letzten Jahren viele neue Freunde gewonnen, wie der steigende Zulauf an Apnoetauchseminaren zeigt. Was fasziniert am Apnoetauchen? Ist es die Tiefe, das Austesten der eigenen Grenzen, die sportliche Herausforderung, die Schönheit der Unterwasserwelt? Wahrscheinlich ist es die Kombination aus all diesen Aspekten und vor allem das wunderbare Gefühl, sich unter Wasser wohl zu fühlen, gelassen zu sein - und dem Leben als Delfin ein kleines Stückchen näher zu kommen.

Apnoetauchen ist mehr als einfaches Schnorcheln. Es ist die Fähigkeit, sich eine längere Zeit unter Wasser aufzuhalten und in größere Tiefen tauchen zu können als dies ein untrainierter Mensch für gewöhnlich könnte. Gute Apnoefähigkeiten erhöhen den Spaß an der Erkundung der Unterwasserwelt erheblich. Und auch beim Gerätetauchen verleihen sie Sicherheit und Ruhe.

Freedive Dahab ist ein Training Center für Apnoetauchen und die AIDA-Schule von Lotta Ericson and Linda Paganelli.
Lotta, eine berühmte schwedische Freediverin und ehemalige Weltmeisterin, gründete 2004 Freedive Dahab , als sie mit ihrer Familie nach Dahab zog. Seitdem leitet sie AIDA Kurse und organisiert Rekord-Versuche, Wettbewerbe und Apnoetauchen-Veranstaltungen. Linda, eine italienische Freediverin, lebt seit 2002 in Dahab, trainiert und unterrichtet Apnoetauchen. Sie schloss sich Anfang 2006 Lottas Apnoetauchschule an.  Da sie in Dahab leben, haben sie die Möglichkeit, täglich zu tauchen und regelmässig mit vielen anerkannten Freediver zu trainieren. Lotta und Linda sind beide Nationalmeisterinnen in mehreren Disziplinen des Apnoetauchens.

Freedive Dahab gibt AIDA-Kurse. AIDA ist die Internationale Vereinigung zur Förderung von Apnoe – es ist eine Weltweite Föderation für Apnoetauchen, die 1992 gegründet wurde. Sie verwaltet, und kontrolliert die Anerkennung von Rekorden, organisiert Wettbewerbe, und setzt Standards der Apnoe-Ausbildung. AIDA brevetiert Freediver, Instruktoren und Kampfrichter.

Details on above courses

Introductory Course - Duration of the course: 1 day


This course is for confident snorkellers who want to explore the underwater world more closely.
The course includes:
- 1 breath-holding session during which you will learn basic techniques of breathing, relaxation and breath-holding.
- 1 theory session during which you will learn some freediving physiology and the risks of hyperventilation.
- 1 diving session during which you will learn how to swim safely underwater, up to a maximum depth of 10 meters. You will be surprised of how easy and effortless it will feel!!
Price: 75 EUR (incl Freediving equipment)

AIDA ** - Duration of the course: 2,5 days

Prerequisites: 18 years (16 with guardian’s signature). Maximum 4 students per course.
This is a course for beginners who want to learn all the basic theory and techniques of freediving.
The course includes:
- 1 breath holding-session during which you will learn breathing and relaxation techniques, and you will be able to extend your breath-hold times easily.
- 1 dynamic apnea session during which you will practice horizontal underwater swimming and learn how to move efficiently.
- 3 theory sessions during which you will learn the basics of freediving physics and physiology; how to prevent shallow water blackout; how to rescue a freediver in trouble.
- 4 diving sessions during which you will practice rescue procedures, technique training and streamlining, and at the end of the course you will be able to dive comfortably to the depth of 15-20 meters.
Price: 205 EUR (incl. freediving equipment, Aida certification of ** level) Blue Hole

 

AIDA ***- Duration of the course: 3 days

This is an intermediate course for freedivers who want to learn more advanced techniques and dive a bit deeper, up to 25-30 meters.
Prerequisites: AIDA ** (or equivalent), 18 years (16 with guardian’s signature). Maximum 4 students per course.
The course includes:
- 1 breath-holding session during which you will practice O2 and CO2 tables, learn training concepts for static, and how to prepare a maximum attempt.
- 1 dynamic apnea session during which you will practice horizontal swimming, prepare a maximum performance, and practise safety procedures.
- 3 theory sessions during which you will learn what happens to the body (and lungs) when the surrounding pressure becomes greater and how the body adapts to this (mammalian dive reflex); we will go deeper into equalization techniques.
- 4 diving sessions, during which we will refine your swimming technique and streamlining, learn how to freefall and practise the new equalization techniques. We will also practice more rescue scenarios on the surface and at depth.
Price: 220 EUR (incl. freediving equipment, AIDA certification of *** level, and trip to Blue Hole during the last day of the course.)

AIDA **** - Duration of the course: 4 days

This is the advanced course for freedivers who are ready to start diving deeper than 30m. All the necessary techniques for deep freediving are covered.
Prerequisites: AIDA *** (or equivalent), First Aid course, 18 years (16 with guardian’s signature). Maximum 4 students per course.
The course includes:
- 2 pool sessions during which we will practise new breathing techniques, prepare maximum performance, and practise coaching a buddy through a static and a dynamic session. 
- 3 theory sessions during which we go deep into all the theory regarding deep diving and deep equalization techniques. We speak about cross training, and nutrition for freediving.
- 6 diving sessions during which we put into practice the new skills learned and master the deep equalization. We practise how to simulate depth in shallow water in order to get the body adapted to increased pressure. We practise advanced rescuing skills.

Beginner course: SSI LEVEL 1

Duration: 2 days
Description: The SSI Level 1 Freediving course is an introduction to the purest form of diving. Here you will learn the proper breathing techniques, familiarize yourself with diaphragm breathing and take a deep breath like you never have before. In the SSI level 1 Freediving course you acquire the proper skills and knowledge to partake in Freediving to depths of 20mtrs.
The course includes:
-2 theory sessions to understand the freediving physiology,  afety aspects pressure related issues.

Cost
: 170 EUR (Including the manual, certification and equipment)
Prerequisites: Be 18 years of age or older (14 years with parent or guardian consent), be able to swim at least 200m non-stops without fins.

Advanced courses SSI level 2

Duration: 3 days
Description: Level 2 Freediving will equip you with further knowledge of the mammalian diving reflex and how to initiate the best response for Freediving. You will learn new advanced equalization techniques to carry you to 30mtrs and develop the skills necessary to go deeper.
The course includes:
-3 theory sessions to achieve a deeper understanding of the physiological changes happening to the body in a high pressure environment and how to use these changes in order to improve performance
- 1 practical session to practice stretching in order to improve physical, thoracic and abdominal flexibility in order to adapt to the high pressure environment
-2 pool sessions to improve the breath holding time ability, and practice proper techniques for dynamic and dynamic without fins.
-4 open water sessions to master how to equalize using “frenzel” technique, and to learn the advantage and skills of freefalling in order to improve relaxation, save oxygen and increase dive times and depth.
Cost: 220 EUR (including manual, certification and equipment)
Prerequisites: To enroll in the SSI Level 2 Freediver course, an individual must:
-Be 18 years of age or older (16 years with parent or guardian consent)

-Have completed the SSI Level 1 Freediver course (or Equivalent) and logged a minimum of 25 Freedive Sessions (SSI Freediver Log book)
-CPR first aid

SSI level 3

Duration: 4 days
The Apex of the SSI Freediving Program, Level 3, will take you to depths of 40mtrs.
