Description
Who is it for: This course is aimed at adventurers who already know how to go down a few meters but want to deepen the depth up to 20 meters. The course is intended to be acquired by adults.
Objective: This course is essential to start descending to -20 meters in apnea with complete peace of mind. Within a framework of safety protocols, this course will provide you with confidence and security to hold your breath for more than 2 minutes in the STA mode and do 30 meters in DNF mode.
In this course you will learn the modalities, hydrodynamics, physics, physiology, depth rescue... and many things about apnea.
But of all the materials we want to highlight the following important points:
This is a documentary and includes a 25-minute apnea relaxation audiobook and a pdf document for Frenzel's explanation.
Includes exercises to practice 5 fundamental breaths used in apnea. To increase lung capacity.
STA apnea, DNF apnea and DYN apnea training tables. To improve resistance.
Hydrodynamics exercises in all the modalities that exist to gain speed and distance.
THE COURSE CONTENT:
All images in the institute's official materials are created from videos made in real courses.
You will be able to observe other students putting into practice what you are going to study. This will provide you with a global vision of the structure of a course and will make learning very enjoyable and fun.
3D images of the inside of the body are included to help illustrate the topics being discussed.
Casco Antiguo has also collaborated.
MODALITIES and HYDRODYNAMICS
In the modalities chapter you will learn the different ways that exist of freediving and you will see them put into action by certified freedivers.
In the hydrodynamics chapter you will learn the mechanics of each of these modalities so that you can correct yourself as your training progresses.
PHYSIOLOGY
In this chapter you will learn the internal parts that are mobilized to capture as much air as possible by stretching all the muscles that open the lungs.
You will learn the 5 fundamental breaths for apnea.
You will also learn how the ear and its internal parts work.
PRACTICAL PHYSICS
In the physics chapter you will learn the laws that apply to freediving and how they are different from traditional scuba diving.
Here you will have practical exercises so that you can compensate as specified for apnea.
SAFETY, RISKS AND RESCUE
What risks exist? What is syncope? How to protect a colleague to avoid accidents? How should you perform a deep rescue? What to do in an emergency?
You will learn all this and much more about safety and risks in this chapter.
This documentary is the most complete that exists regarding security.
It talks about all the elements that are likely to generate unsafe situations.
From removing the tube from one's mouth to controlling the time in which you have to go down to look for your partner as a safety measure.
TRAINING BOARDS
In Level 1 you will study and practice the hypoxia table for STA apnea, and another table for DNF and DYN apnea.
By training like this you will be able to progress and overcome your apnea to be prepared for the next Level.
You will be able to hold your breath for 2 minutes, exhale once and hold your breath again for another 2 minutes.
And in the dynamic apnea table you will learn to calculate your speed well in order to have enough rest time.
PREPARING A DAY, TIDES, UNDERWATER SIGNS, MARINE LIFE
In these 4 chapters you will learn the basics related to the aquatic environment.
You will learn the preparation phases of a day and what you have to take into account before jumping directly into the water.
You will learn about the tides and their behavior.
You will learn to communicate underwater in a course, which will also help you outside the course.
And you will learn to behave with the fauna and flora
Who Should Attend!
- People who want to go -20 meters deep underwater
- Adventure people, sport people, people who want to meditate underwater and be more relaxed under -20 meters depth
- People who did introduction to freediving course
