AIDA 2 Freediving EXAM
AIDA 2 FREEDIVING EXAM COVERAGE
IT includes dive preparation, proper warm-up routines, breath-hold
principles, and correct surface recovery breathing techniques. It also
assesses equalization methods, pressure and buoyancy changes with
depth, and common freediving injuries such as squeeze and lung
overexpansion risks. Additional topics include hypoxia and blackout
prevention, buddy responsibilities, communication signals, rescue
response procedures, and safe equipment use (mask, snorkel, fins,
wetsuit, weight belt). Overall, the exam ensures divers can apply
correct safety protocols and freediving theory to perform controlled
and safe dives in both pool and open-water environments.
,Does being a great athlete automatically make someone a great
instructor?
No. Good instructors understand students' struggles, not just their
own performance.
Why do many people think freediving is extreme?
Because the media shows it as a risky extreme sport, even though
normal freediving is safe with proper training.
,What is the main goal of the AIDA2 course?
To teach you the basic safety rules and techniques so you can
freedive safely and enjoyably.
Three most important safety rules in freediving
1) Always dive with a buddy 2) Relax before holding your breath 3) Be
correctly weighted
Is freediving dangerous?
Freediving is very safe if you follow a few basic rules: always dive with
a buddy, relax before breath-holding, and use correct weighting.
, What is the AIDA Education System?
A framework that defines the skills all AIDA courses must teach.
Instructors can add their own style, but must cover the same basics.
Should students choose an instructor based on personality and
goals?
Yes. A competitive instructor suits athletes; a relaxed instructor suits
people doing photography or casual diving.
Can you start a course with one instructor and finish with another?
Yes, as long as you continue within one year.
