Molchanvos Remote Instructor Course

It all sounds great… But what is Molchanovs, and what exactly are the Molchanovs Training Systems?

The Molchanovs Training Systems and the Molchanovs freediving courses were initially developed by Natalia Molchanova, the greatest freediver who ever lived. Unfortunately, this Russian freediving champion passed away in 2015 but is still today the freediving mother of so many top-level freediving athletes.

Then in 2018, a group of entrepreneurs and some of the best freedivers in the world came together and said; the industry needs to change, we are going to do things differently, it’s not about money, it needs to be about freediving and our community of ocean enthusiasts.

The Molchanovs systems are a freediving training system based on open-water or pool courses tied together by the Molchanovs Base Training and Molchanovs Movement. The Molchanovs Movement is a global community of freedivers who can all participate in 100% free training, and they get access to 100% free workouts of the week. They can achieve freediving milestones and earn badges.

Now two years later, Molchanovs is the fastest-growing freediving agency and freediving community in the world, and as you can see, that makes perfect sense.

The Many Benefits of Doing the Freediving Instructor Cross Over Remote!

You now know that Molchanovs is an incredible training system and that in 2018 the founders said they wanted to do things differently. But if all the other freediving agencies only run classroom instructor courses, why would you start your Molchanovs Freediving Instructor cross over remotely?

There are actually a lot of reasons why this is a great idea.

Are you Making the Right Choice with Molchanovs and the Molchanovs Instructor Course?!

Besides the fact that Molchanovs is the only freediving agency in the world where you can take the freedive instructor course online, there are more big differences between Molchanovs and the other freediving agencies.

The Freedive Academy Panglao has mostly worked with two agencies; Molchanovs and Scuba Schools International (SSI). We can teach all the recreational freediving courses and both the SSI Freediving instructor courses and Molchanovs Freediving Instructor courses. On this page, you can see the differences between the two different freediving instructor courses – and why we don’t recommend doing the AIDA Instructor Course.

SSI has exactly 50 years of experience in teaching scuba courses – since 1970 and have been teaching freediving since 2008. They have the largest dealer network of dive centers in the industry by far, and all this experience results in the most solid instructor course currently available. Joining an SSI Instructor Course means you’ll be a well-trained dive professional who will be more than ready to work in the dive industry. With the SSI course, you become a high-level teacher or instructor and dive professional. The Molchanovs Instructor Course is more about fine-tuning the student’s technique and is much more about technical freediving.

Traditionally, if you want to start your own center or work as a Freediving Instructor for an established center, SSI will be the better option. Having that said, Molchanovs have been getting a lot of traction. It is more pure freediving of a much higher technical level, and the value they offer to dive centers and independent instructors are like no other agency. In the end, you really can’t go wrong with either agency.

How Does a Remote Freedive Instructor Cross Over or Upgrade Course Work!

Let’s look at the Molchanovs Instructor Requirements and How this work with remote instructor courses.

There are remote possibilities for both the Wave 2 and Lap 2 instructor courses and the Wave 3 and Lap 3 upgrades. For both levels of the remote instructor course, there are different scenarios possible.

With the fully remote cross over course, you need to record and submit to your instructor trainer the in-water performance requirements. You join the course, follow all the theory and online presentations, and complete the online exams. When you’ve completed the theory and online part of the program, you have one year to find a pool and open water location. Here you and your buddy record the required skills. When you upload the videos to a video sharing site, you can share them with your instructor trainer, and when all skills are approved, your trainer will certify you via the Molchanovs System.

A partially remote instructor course could happen when, for example, you travel to Panglao. We understand, the freediving in the Philippines is pretty incredible, and you want to spend as much time in the water as possible – we get it 🙂 And if this applies to you, then you might want to start your instructor course from the comfort of your home.

The base price for the fully and partially remote instructor course or upgrade is the same. When you come to Panglao and finish the course here with an Instructor Trainer, you pay $52 per IT session for the evaluation. These sessions are usually longer than the regular coaching sessions, often one-on-one, and often entail, besides the in-water part, also a short classroom evaluation. How many IT sessions you need depends on the preparation and home study and training the instructor candidate has done before starting the sessions. But because of the efficient one-on-one sessions, the flexible scheduling of the IT sessions, the total cost of the instructor course is usually still quite a bit lower than the regular course price.

Please contact us for schedules, prices and options. The remote courses are very individual, and we often customise the package and course to fit your needs.
