Overview
About Freedive Dubai
Freedive Dubai is an AIDA-certified freediving school based in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE. Training follows a strict three-level curriculum — AIDA 1 Introduction to Freediving (covering breathing, relaxation, equalization, and discipline overview), AIDA 2 Intermediate Freediver (introducing freefall, duck dive, vertical swimming, and underwater safety), and AIDA 3 Advanced Freediver (covering depth progression, lung physiology, and advanced equalization) — with a maximum of 4 students per instructor. Open-water sessions take place at Deep Dive Dubai, the world's deepest swimming pool (60 m). Theory classes run Monday to Thursday; open-water training is held on weekends. The school's philosophy is built on three pillars: specific training (breathing tactics and raw diving technique), minimal equipment (mask, snorkel, fins), and flawless form (efficiency and buoyancy). AIDA 3 is a prerequisite for the school's spearfishing (4 days) and Rooftopdiving underwater videography (8 days) specialty programmes.
