What you’ll learn

Freediving Brain combines the AIDA curriculum with a mind-first approach: technique, safety and physiology are taught alongside relaxation, attention and nervous-system regulation.

Training in Barcelona

Sessions are based in Barcelona, using pool training for controlled skill development and Mediterranean open water where the course level requires depth work. Equipment is included according to the course format shown on our main Courses page.

Why train with Freediving Brain?

Courses are led through a small-group coaching model focused on calm, clear feedback and safe progression. Founder Shebl is an AIDA Instructor Trainer and Judge, with years of teaching experience from Dahab to Barcelona.

Course questions

Do I need freediving experience for AIDA 1?

No. AIDA 1 is designed as an introduction to freediving for people who are comfortable in the water but may have no previous breath-hold diving experience.

Is AIDA 1 pool only?

The Freediving Brain AIDA 1 format is a one-day introduction focused on theory, safety and pool-based skills.

What should I learn before going deeper?

Relaxation, basic breath-hold awareness, buddy safety and clean technique come before depth. AIDA 1 is designed to establish those foundations.
