• Certified AIDA 2 or equivalent freedivers ready to move beyond recreational depth
• Divers who want to refine technique rather than simply chase numbers
• Athletes preparing for deeper training or future competition pathways
• Freedivers who want stronger rescue competence and independent dive planning skills
• Individuals committed to disciplined progression and technical precision

In AIDA 3, theory becomes technical. You will explore advanced physiology and how pressure affects the body at greater depths. We analyze dive planning, depth adaptation, narcosis awareness, and energy management. Equalization is broken down in detail, with focus on efficient Frenzel mechanics and troubleshooting common limitations.

You will study advanced safety protocols, rescue scenarios, and decision making under pressure. Risk assessment and responsibility become central themes.

This is not classroom theory for its own sake.
Every concept is applied directly in the water.

You will refine technique, safety, and performance in confined water through structured training methods:

• Designing personalized CO₂ and dynamic training tables for progressive adaptation
• Setting precise neutral buoyancy for efficient dynamic apnea
• Refining relaxation, streamlining, finning efficiency, and turns
• Static warm up protocols leading toward breath holds of 2:45 or longer
• Dynamic apnea performances of 55 meters or more
• Advanced buddy procedures and full rescue management for LMC and blackout

Confined water becomes a laboratory for control, precision, and measurable progression.

Across at least four guided depth sessions, you will apply advanced skills in real freediving conditions:

• Identifying neutral buoyancy and initiating controlled freefall
• Refining duck dives, line orientation, and efficient finning technique
• Practicing Frenzel equalization for deeper, relaxed descents
• Advanced buddy procedures, including meeting divers at 15 meters and supervising depth dives
• Self rescue techniques and towing an incapacitated diver
• Surface and depth rescue protocols for blackout scenarios
• Performing Constant Weight dives between 24 and 30 meters under full safety supervision

Each session is structured, progressive, and focused on precision rather than numbers.

Depth means nothing without responsibility.

As part of your theory training, you will complete a dedicated environmental module focused on becoming a responsible freediver. Because performance without awareness has no place in the ocean.

You will learn:

• The fundamentals of marine ecosystem awareness
• The importance of Posidonia oceanica and why seabed contact matters
• How finning technique and buoyancy affect fragile habitats
• Respectful interaction guidelines for marine life
• Local environmental considerations specific to the Messinian Gulf
• How to assess shared water space with boats and other users
• Sustainable equipment and consumption choices
• Daily habits that reduce your environmental footprint as a diver

This module is not optional.
It is part of what defines a real freediver.

At Alchemy Freediving Center, responsibility toward yourself and responsibility toward the ocean are inseparable.

Your AIDA 3 program is structured, technical, and progressively demanding. Every element is designed to refine precision, efficiency, and independent safety awareness.

Across your training days, you receive:

• Professional instruction and close supervision from a certified AIDA Instructor
• Advanced theory covering physiology, pressure effects, equalization mechanics, and deep safety
• Structured confined water training tables and performance development sessions
• Multiple open water depth sessions progressing toward 30 meters
• Practical training in Frenzel equalization, freefall, and refined body positioning
• Advanced buddy procedures and full depth rescue simulations
• Diving insurance coverage for the duration of the course
• Access to premium freediving equipment throughout the program
• Full access to our freediving facilities and training infrastructure
• Digital course manual and knowledge review support
• International AIDA 3 certification upon successful completion

This is where freediving shifts from progression to precision.

By the end of AIDA 3, you will have:

• Completed structured depth dives up to 30 meters
• Refined Frenzel equalization and controlled freefall technique
• Improved buoyancy awareness and energy efficiency at depth
• Developed advanced buddy and depth rescue competence
• Strengthened dive planning and independent safety judgment
• Earned your AIDA 3 certification

More importantly, you leave with precision.

Precision in movement.
Precision in decision making.
Precision in how you approach depth.

We train in calm conditions, in small groups, with full attention on each student.

Progress happens at your pace.
Confidence grows naturally.

You are not compared to anyone.
You are guided toward your own capacity.

AIDA 3 is not about going deeper for the sake of depth.

It is about refining everything that allows depth to feel calm.

It is about precision in equalization.
Efficiency in movement.
Control during freefall.

You move beyond recreational comfort and into disciplined progression.
Every dive is planned.
Every detail matters.

This is where technique becomes technical.
Where safety becomes independent.
Where depth is earned, not chased.

You are not trained to push limits.
You are trained to manage them.
