Beginner Level

AIDA Freediver Certificate

​​

​Our AIDA 2 Freediver Course blends pool training and open-water dives to safely master depths of 12-20 meters. Perfect for deep adventures, photography, or spearfishing, you’ll gain confidence through classroom theory, yoga breathwork, and ocean sessions – with a 100% Frenzel equalization success guarantee on day one.

​

At Freedive HK, we refuse to let beginners pass assessments on willpower alone. Through structured teaching, we make sure you genuinely enjoy the ocean.

 

Why choose our AIDA 2 course?

 

  • Private boat for every session: No shore entries or hiking with gear. From DYN bay training to CWT open water dives, our private 29ft boat takes you directly to the site at Clear Water Bay— step off and dive.

  • All-in price, no equipment fee: Tuition covers all gear — mask, fins, weights and more. Everything is prepared on the boat. Just show up.

  • Unlimited DYN retries: No retake fees for DYN, STA, Buddy Safety, or weight adjustment. Practice until you actually have it — not just until you've passed.

  • Frenzel on day one: Our dedicated land workshop gets you to 100% Frenzel technique before you enter the water. No more ear pain holding you back.​​​
