We offer our students the opportunity to train using tailored programs, ensuring a highly personalized approach to the goals and challenges they face.

What is the difference between individual training and a standard freediving course?

The goal of the course is to teach a set of essential knowledge and skills that enable freedivers to dive safely and effectively to specific depths. This is why the training is divided into several levels.
For example, SSI offers three basic levels of recreational freediving training: Freediver, Advanced Freediver, and Performance Freediver.
Each level corresponds to a set of knowledge, skills, experience, and relevant standards, passing which confirms mastery of the course program.
During individual training sessions, we can focus more on specific objectives based on your preferences.

Who do we recommend individual programs and sessions for?

Freedivers who have completed training courses to consolidate the skills they've acquired, continue depth adaptation, and realize their current potential.
Freedivers who have taken a long break from previons freediving sessions, to gently return to the deep, restore technical skills, and regain psychological readiness for diving.
People with athletic ambitions who set long-term freediving goals, as well as those preparing for competitions.
Those who want to focus on a specific aspect of freediving: pressure compensation, freediving psychology, hypoxic tolerance, endurance, a specific freediving discipline, etc.
Those who don't fit our course dates, but who have already trained at our school and know for sure that they are definitely here!

Remember: depth is revealed gradually.

The body and mind need time to adapt.
As a rule, any process is currently limited by a specific factor, the elimination of which opens the way to progress and meeting the next limiting factor.
The coach's job is to identify existing limitations, one by one, and help eliminate them.
If the above resonates with you, sign up for training!

REVIEWS

From our family, we want to thank Olya for the pre-New Year course in Dahab.
It was unforgettable.
Daily water training, morning yoga on the roof with views of the sea and mountains, evening equalization practice, and trips to Blue Hole, all with pleasant company.
Olya is a talented and sensitive instructor who finds the right words and approach for everyone, with great attention to the theoretical foundation.
The training becomes a lively and comfortable process on the path to relaxation and achieving goals in good company.

Oksana and Nikita

For me, freediving started as a kind of therapy. Nothing helps cope with stress like relaxation and immersion in a new environment — water. But therapy will only work if you have a good guide to this other universe, where different creatures live, where pressure and visibility are different, where laws apply that we haven’t thought about since school physics. Olga taught me not to fear the depths and to understand my body. She was patient and persistent, attentive to details, and always (always!) calm and kind. Thanks to this, the whole learning process truly felt like psychotherapy sessions.
It’s also worth mentioning that, to me, freediving without yoga doesn’t really exist. Almost everything that needs to be worked on in freediving is done through yoga. And it’s a great fortune when the yoga instructor and the freediving instructor are the same person.

I have been training with Olga Davydova for several years now. I really appreciate her comprehensive approach to the training process — it covers both the internal sensations of freediving and a thorough breakdown of diving and swimming techniques, as well as many preparatory sessions on land, which many instructors neglect — yoga (Olga is also a yoga instructor), equalization and relaxation exercises.
Olga is very open and attentive to her students, always ready to advise and help. Even before I started freediving with Olga and while struggling with equalization issues that no one else could help me with, during a yoga class she pointed out the cause of my problems and ways to solve them, for which I am very grateful!

Olga Tihonova

My training experience with Olya was truly exceptional 🤘 She completely transformed my relationship with the water!

A straight-up professional, attentive and supportive, all while keeping it real and making sure you get killer results without stressing out 🧜🏼 She is genuinely interested in your progress and incredibly considerate of your comfort level. Her ability to instill confidence and promote a sense of calmness was a game-changer for someone like me with an anxious nature🫠

But here's the real deal, she doesn’t play when it comes to safety. She got eyes like a hawk, making sure every little detail is on lock. You can’t even get a cramp without her noticing:))

In short, if you are looking for an instructor who will not only tell you the “how”s but also explain the “why”s both for theory and practice, then this is your lucky day, you have found her. Go get the best experience of your life, and thank me later:)
@olgitta.free rocks!!!

WHERE IS THE COURSE HELD?

Dahab is the perfect place for deep-water diving.
You can dive here year-round: the water temperature even in the coldest winter months does not drop below 22 degrees Celsius.
Blue Hole is one of the most famous diving and freediving spots in the world. It is a natural underwater sinkhole about 100 meters deep — from the surface, you can see a picturesque coral reef.
What makes this place unique is that the deep water is right next to the shore.
At about 50 meters depth from the surface, the coral wall on the sea side forms an arched opening — the famous Blue Hole Arch.
