Interested in learning how to swim further underwater, both with and without fins? The RAID Dynamic Apnea Speciality Certification Course is for you!

Dynamic Apnea is a freediving discipline where you swim lengths underwater in a pool, either with or without fins. This comprehensive course is designed for both new and experienced freedivers, covering finning techniques, buoyancy control, streamlining, buddying, and rescue skills. You’ll also learn how to develop a personalised training plan and have the chance to try Dynamic Apnea with a monofin (available in limited sizes), all while earning certification upon successful completion.

Who would benefit from this speciality freediving course?

  • Beginner and experienced freedivers, mermaids, and spearfishers looking to improve their finning technique and extend time underwater

  • Scuba divers wanting to enhance finning and hydrodynamics

  • Athletes seeking a new challenge

  • Freedivers preparing for competition

  • Snorkelers aiming to boost their skills

What will I learn on this Dynamic Apnea certification course?

  • Effective breathing techniques for Dynamic Apnea, before and after a swim

  • How to safely and correctly perform Dynamic Apnea with fins (DYNB)

  • Technique for Dynamic Apnea without fins (DNF)

  • Buddying skills for Dynamic Apnea

Will I receive a certification for this pool-based freediving course?

Yes! To qualify for certification, the only requirement is performing Dynamic Apnea correctly and safely.

Tip: Some employers provide grants or expenses for personal learning, development and growth, especially if the course is a certified, recognised course (which this is). We have had many students undertake our courses under their employer’s personal learning/development schemes at no cost to themselves.

You can choose to do either the Static or Dynamic Speciality courses, or do them both on the same day, saving £50!
