Molchanovs

Wave 2

Overview

Further your freediving education and improve your skills with the Molchanovs Wave 2 certification. Building on the foundations of the Wave 1 course, the Wave 2 advanced course dives deeper into breathing, relaxation, equalization, and diving techniques to help you dive deeper and progress safely.

The Wave 2 course is usually completed comfortably in 3-4 days, and includes a classroom session, one (1) pool session, and two (2) open water sessions.

To start the Wave 2 course you need to have a Wave 1 certification or the equivalent from any other freediving agency.

Crossing over from another certification system to start your Wave 2 is easy. Your instructor will evaluate and check your knowledge and skills in the water to ensure you are at the right level to start Wave 2. You’ll also need to pass the Wave 1 online exam.

In class, you’ll go into more detail about the effects of deeper dives on the human body, and the risks and potential injuries involved. You will also hone your Frenzel equalization skills and be introduced to reverse packing, an essential freediving skill to equalize at depth and progress to deeper dives.

In the pool you will hone the monofin technique and further your dynamic distances. You’ll also build on the no-fins skills from Wave 1, truly practicing the discipline by taking the technique underwater on a breath hold.

During open water sessions, you will work on improving your equalization, technique, and body position for constant weight and free immersion dives. You’ll be introduced to and practice free-fall, and take your dives deeper to a maximum of 30 meters. You’ll take your buddying deeper and become a better safety diver for your training and fun dives.
