Freediving Courses Equivalence Chart

Here you will find an overview of the different freediving agencies. Each of these agencies acknowledge each other as an official freediving certification agency. With most freediving centre’s you can easily switch from one agency to the other. With some schools you might need to do a evaluation session before crossing over.

At FREEDIVE+ we look at this case by case.

And even though they’re not yet mentioned in the below tables; we do – and have welcomed many students from the Russian Freediving Federation. Certified Wave students can directly cross-over to our SSI and AIDA courses.

Crossing over from one agency to another would look something like.

Course 1. AIDA 2*
Course 2. SSI Level 2
Course 3. SSI Level 3

Or

Course 1. PADI Basic Freediver
Course 2. Apnea Academy Level 2
Course 3. SSI Level 3

Please note: regularly we receive requests about the Apnea Total courses and cross-overs. We always do an evaluation session with Apnea Total students to see what level they are. With Apnea Total it really depends on the instructor the student has, and because there is no fixed structure in their courses, we can not tell in advance which level course you can take with us.
