Whether or not you meet the certification requirements after completing the main course,
you can continue your freediving journey through training dives!
The benefit of participating in training dives is that
there will always be an instructor by your side to ensure your safety.
So, you don’t need to worry about practicing without a dive buddy.
Anyone who has taken a freediving course from any system,
regardless of whether they passed, can register for training dives.
If you feel less confident about a specific skill after the course,
or want to refine the details of a particular technique,
this program is ideal for you.
Whether the setting is a pool or the ocean, shallow water or deep water,
training can be tailored to your personal needs and the conditions of the day.

SSI and AIDA are distinct freediving education and certification systems, each with its own set of teaching standards. Regardless of which system you choose, as long as the course content meets the required standards, you will gain equivalent safety knowledge and skills. Rather than focusing solely on the system, it's more important to choose a freediving center that's a good fit for you. A center that consistently offers training and post-course activities is key, so you have guidance on how
A good diving system should not only have sufficient international recognition but also consistently update its training standards and materials. It should offer diverse advanced education options for divers to continually improve their skills and knowledge. Whether it's scuba diving, freediving, or mermaiding, SSI is considered by the Peninsula Hain coaching team to be a dedicated and comprehensive international diving education system.
