AA Second level

We invite you to Apnea Academy Level II course
Do you like feeling of freedom and independence? Do you want to enjoy beauty of lakes, seas and oceans, while being independent on diving base and not to drag all those devices, cutaways and bottles with you? Do you want to dive into medium depths like scuba divers? Do you want to improve your breathing skills and have thereby better feeling and better safety during scuba diving? Do you want to discover new skills in yourself about which you have had no idea up to now? Do you want to dive safely and be able to solve crisis situations? Do you want to know how to keep working on yourself in the future?…

We prepared for you a five-day intensive freediving course that will open new dimensions of your abilities to you, teach you skills necessary for effective and safe diving and show you how to prepare for diving not only by breathing techniques. Not less important is also information how to proceed after the course, how to improve your physical and mental abilities and movement skills, so that freediving brings you in the future even more joy, relaxation and healthy feeling, irrespective of whether your goals are recreational or racing.

Venue and accommodation:
Freediving World Center diving base in the Labranda hotel in the city of Sharm el Sheikh is one of the best bases specialized in freediving. It is part of a nice Italian Labranda hotel. There is a coral reef in front of the hotel/base and what is the most important for us, water is significantly deep even for training of the best competitors = up to 140m :-) Within Apnea Academy Week we have at disposal two racing platforms, a platton and circa twenty buoys with different depth from 20 to 80m. We have at disposal also a nice 25m swimming pool just at the base. As I have already indicated, Apnea Week will take place at the same time as our course and there will be many freedivers from all over the world ...

The Labranda hotel is part of the Italian resort Eden Village. Nice accommodation with all inclusive service in high standard! The hotel price includes excellent food 3 times a day, snacks during the day and non-alcoholic drinks at bars. Lunch and dinner includes non-alcoholic drinks, bears and wine for free. You can stay in one-, two- or three-bed rooms.
The hotel has swimming pools, a fitness, massage rooms and primarily the Freediving World Apnea Center freediving base, which will provide us within international reunion of freedivers Apnea Academy Week with all service on preferential terms, so we will have the best conditions for our training!!! :-)
