Equalization Stage

We invite you to join us for an Equalization stage

Equalization issues are th emost common cause limit in a freediver’s progress. Even many advanced and strong athletes often „battle“ with equalization! For this reason we have decided to once again collaborate with Andrea Zuccari and create a special equalization workshop.

This workshop includes theoritecial and practical lessons during which you will learn how equalization works and how to pick and perfect your own eq technique. It is suitable for all freedivers, especially for those who can already dive to at least 20m and would like to dive deeper. This workshop is also great for freediving instructors, and will also definitely satisfy those with competitive ambitions! Learn how to equalize well and move your limits!

This two-day workshop is created in collaboration with Andrea Zuccari, an Italian instructor and currently the second deepest freediver in the world. He also performed the deepest dive with a freediving mask: - 175 m! Many world-class athletes come to him to imporve their equalization.

The price for Apneaman club members: 215 EUR
