Wave 1 — basic freediving course

Theory

Wave 1 is the first Molchanovs certification level and the best way to start freediving. You'll discover your natural breath-hold ability, learn to relax and dive deeper than you thought possible, and earn an official certificate: it unlocks independent buddy diving and lets you join training sessions at freediving schools anywhere in the world. The course suits anyone who can swim: complete beginners, scuba divers, snorkelers, surfers, and anyone who wants to feel calmer and more confident in the water.

Freediving physiology and physics, relaxation technique, correct pre-dive breathing and recovery breathing.
