Freediving Instructor course 

Are you ready to start the journey?

Discover the Ultimate Lifestyle Transformation in a Tropical Paradise 


You might want to bring your freediving passion one step further and to start helping others do discover their potential in freediving. Becoming an AIDA Instructor is a rewarding challenge that takes your freediving - and potentially your life - to a level beyond. Our AIDA Freediving Instructor Course is a very intensive course, with high standards and involves nearly 40 hours of instruction!


BE PREPARED, The IC is organised during a period of 7 to 10 days and is very demanding in time. Course starts at 8:30 till 18:00 (sometimes later) everyday. Therefore, your physical condition must be at the top. So in order to arrive well prepared and enter the course, here are some requirements that we ask to all our candidates:

Paperworks : You need to send us a copy of your AIDA4 or PADI Master Freediver Certificate. We also need a copy of your CPR certificate, not older than 2 years. If you are PADI Master Freediver, you will need to pass the AIDA4 Crossover to be entitled to join the AIDA IC. The AIDA4 C/O is minimum 2 days. When you will arrive in Freediving Hurghada you will have to complete the following documents : • Registration • Liability Release • Medical Form. Moreover, for the PADI Instructor Candidates, the PADI medical form must be completed and it must be signed by a doctor. This Medical form must be given on arrival at Freediving Hurghada and must be recent. There are doctors in Hurghada, but it is better to secure your document in advance.

Theory : Since you are already AIDA4 certified, the AIDA theory must not be a secret for you anymore. Therefore, we will organize the first exam on the Theory AIDA2-4 on the first day of the IC, so you will have the time to refresh your knowledge at home at your own pace. To pass the AIDA2-4 exam you will need a score of 90%. If you don’t pass on the first time, then you will have one exam B to pass on the next day. If another fail, then the IC stops and you will have to register at the next month course.

Freediving Techniques : To enter the AIDA IC, your technique must be such as expected of an AIDA4 or PADI Master Freediver. The IC is not designed to teach you the techniques your are already supposed to master. We expect from you a Role Model technique. AIDA4 is already a high level of expertise.


On the first day of the AIDA IC, we will organize an assessment OW session and you will have to demonstrate the following :

• Easy CWT dive to 35m min, with a role model technique.

• BO Rescue from 20m and 50m towing at the surface with rescue breathes.

• Setup and handling of the line, buoy, bottom weight.

Special Presentation : Once you will register to the IC, you will need to provide us a list of 3 topics you would like to develop, with a 2 or 3 lines introduction. We will pickup one of the 3 topics and you will have time to prepare your special presentation at your place a few weeks in advance.

Note that for this Special Presentation, we will need 2 documents from you :

  • The PowerPoint Presentation.
  • The Full text assignment. The PPT must be the outlines of your full text assignment. You will need to present your topic at the end of the IC and you will be allowed to talk for 20-25 minutes and with a 5-10 minutes Q&A at the end.
  • By the first day of the IC, you must provide all your documents via email to your Instructor. Use the following email: freedivinghurghada@gmail.com         OR       samehmaged402@gmail.com
