Wave 1

Introduction to freediving

The Molchanovs Wave 1 in-depth course can be completed either all at once or divided into the Lap 1 pool part and the Wave 1 deep part. Why is this advantageous for you? Because you have a choice of what form you will take in the course! If you have already obtained the Lap 1 certification, you have received access to Molchanovs workout of the week program for pool disciplines and our club pool training sessions and in the deep part you can only train freediving techniques that will allow you comfortable freediving to a depth of up to 20m.
