About this course

3-Day Advanced Course

AIDA Level 3 is your introduction to deep freediving. It expands on Level 2 and adds a great deal of detail and theory.

I took the AIDA 1, 2 and 3 courses with Mitch in the span of two weekends. I have been freediving my whole life and his courses were impeccable. His calmness and ability to teach is incredible, he is patient and willing to work with you as much as you need to reach your goals. I learned so much from his courses and was able to very comfortably push myself knowing that he was always watching me carefully with my safety at his forefront. I spent about three months researching courses with different instructors and schools and if I had to do it again a million times I would choose Mitch every time. If you go into his course with the willingness to learn you will achieve incredible things with Mitch. I plan to take my AIDA 4 and instructor course with him as well and I am very very excited to do so this summer!!
