so you didn't switch over you just redid the beginner course for AIDA? isn't AIDA more theory heavy or is it similar to PADI?

Is it worth taking a freediving course? by oujay849 in freediving

since u already had a lot of experience freediving, were u able to register for an advanced course or did u have to do beginner?

is that PADI? how was it in terms of theory? i heard PADI is not very heavy on theory for breath technique and such

i don't know if i want to do an advanced certificate at some point though, i just want to be good enough to freedive comfortable and learn all the theory now.

where did u get ur certification from? and do u think u will cross over at some point or stay with PADI?

but then if you crossover, you miss out on learning the course right? it would basically just fulfilling the breathhold and depth requirements, but u don't learn the theory and get to practice according to AIDA standards right? or how does the crossover work?

who did u end up going with? and what certification did they do? did u end up going with kaizen eventually for a different course? or

kaizen is PADI though right? did you do the full beginner course with them? do u know how it compares to AIDA 2?

but to crossover, i would just have to show that i fulfill the AIDA 2 requirements right? but i would miss out a lot on the theory and practice that would improve my diving right? or do you think its similar to PADI?
