LEVEL 3 AIDA
With Us
Program
The AIDA 3 course is designed to build upon the foundations acquired during AIDA 2. It enables students to develop the knowledge and skills required to plan and conduct freediving sessions independently with divers of a similar level.
The course also provides a deeper understanding of safety procedures and the risks associated with pressure. You will learn new techniques such as Frenzel equalization, freefall, and the use of training tables.
Prerequisites:
You must be certified as an AIDA 2 freediver, or complete a one-day evaluation if you already hold an equivalent certification from another training organization.
Registration requirements:
Open to participants aged 16 and above (written consent from both parents or legal guardian(s) is required for minors).
AIDA 3 performance requirements:
24 to 30 meters Constant Weight (CWT)
2 minutes 45 seconds Static Apnea (STA)
55 meters Dynamic Apnea (DYN)
Free Immersion (FIM) with freefall demonstration (no depth requirement)
Please note: For some students, the performance requirements needed to certify a level may take longer to achieve and may require additional training sessions. Freediving is a recreational activity, and the goal is not to constantly push your limits, but to enjoy the experience and progress at your own pace.
Our trips include all necessary equipment (fins, mask, snorkel & wetsuit) as well as certification fees in the price.
You are welcome to bring your confortable equipment
Onboard, you’ll have everything you need to stay hydrated and energized – water, tea, and light snacks are provided.
For those who wish to eat more, breaks are scheduled for that purpose.
Keep in mind that freediving is best on a light stomach, so feel free to bring nuts or fruit — you’ll feel the difference!
Remember to bring a swimsuit, towel, sunglasses, hat or cap, and sunscreen if needed.
Toilets and showers are available at the departure point.

DAY 1
Meet-up is at 8:30 AM directly at the Vaipoopoo parc.
We'll start with the formalities and move on to theory based on freediving physiology and relaxation exercises.
The session will end in confined water, with static apnea practice and safety procedures.
Then at 1:30 PM, meet at the boat (see Tahiti Freediving on Google Maps).
You’ll be a small group onboard.
We’ll head to our best dive sites, located just 5–10 minutes by boat from the marina.
This session will focus on relaxation techniques, equalization practice, and free immersion.
DAY 2 & DAY 3
Meet at 8:30 AM at the boat for an open water session focused on constant weight dives, rescue exercises, and buddy system protocols.
This session emphasizes refining all techniques learned so far.
Later, we’ll move to a confined water session to practice dynamic apnea, with a focus on body position and finning technique.
You’ll also continue practicing buddy procedures and rescue drills.
Finally, you’ll complete the online written exam.
