Introduction

Everyone older than age of 16 has access to the course. The participant must be Molchanovs Lap 2 or Wave 2 certified, or be certified by another system at a given level.

The theoretical part

If you are not yet a Molchanovs freediver, you will receive an email with registration details. On the profile (dashboard) you will find a manual for the entire course Molchanovs Lap / Wave 3. You can start study before we start. This will make it easier for you to complete the course.

As in any previous course, we will take the technique of relaxation to a new level and teach you how to work on the technique of deconcentration of attention, which is a completely different mental approach for freedives. We will thoroughly discuss all aspects of coaching during static apnea. Packing, reverse packing, flexibility training and knowing when and how to use these techniques (and when not!) will help you expand your limits in a safe way. As a really advanced freediver, you will also be able to create an efficient training program. Because you will start freediving to depths below the residual lung capacity (RV), it is necessary to prepare well for this. Of course, the technique of pressure equalization is key, so it will be the mouthfill (Frenzel-Fattah), a technique that allows you to reach great depths in an efficient and safe way and lots of exercises to practise the technique. We will introduce you to FRC dives, where we freedive with a smaller volume of air in the lungs and thus simulate the depth. We will discuss in detail possible pressure problems such as lung squeeze, DCS or narcosis and how to prevent them if possible. Lap / Wave 3 is a semi-professional certification that will allows you to work as an assistant instructor and equip you with the appropriate level of knowledge and skills. It is also the last step to enter the Molchanovs instructor course if your goal is to practice freediving professionally.

Technique. As a Lap 3 freediver, you should already be able to demonstrate the right technique in all disciplines. DNF, DYNB and DYN. We will therefore pay attention to every detail, including the use of new mental skills. We will focus on static and coaching. You will try new training methods that will help you move forward in all disciplines.
