ItalSub School
Hi!
My name is Sergey Goncharov, and I am a certified instructor with AIDA International.
My qualification is also recognized by the Molchanovs and FIPSAS systems, allowing me to teach according to their standards.
I have had the privilege of training under the world’s top instructors, achieving significant personal milestones and developing a unique teaching approach.
My strength is the unique experience gained from three leading freediving schools: American, Italian and Russian. By combining their best techniques, I have developed a personalized approach to training. Thanks to my certificates and insurance, I guarantee not only quality training, but also safety….
Courses I offer
If you want to discover the world of freediving, I have prepared three courses in the pool:
AIDA 1 – Introduction to Freediving
AIDA 2 – Freediving for Beginners
AIDA 3 – Advanced Freediving.
Why choose these courses?
The first thing is that they are suitable for everyone. You can start training at any age if there are no medical contraindications.
The second thing is the international level certification. Upon completion of the courses, you will receive a recognized certificate that will give you the opportunity to dive in the deepest pools of the world without an instructor.
The third point is a unique experience. Our courses provide the in-depth knowledge and practical skills you need to freedive safely and effectively. You will learn proper breathing techniques, including methods to significantly increase your breath-hold time. Master effective dive techniques that will maximize energy conservation and minimize stress at depth. We also focus on safety, teaching proper self-control, rescue and first aid techniques. All of this, combined with a personalized approach and fun, hands-on training, will make your experience unique and as effective as possible.
Why train in a group?
A course is more fun and effective when shared! Ideal for a group of at least 4 students, so you can learn not only how to dive, but also how to ensure the safety of your partner.
What will you learn during the courses?
Here is a taste of the skills you will acquire in each course:
AIDA 1 – Introduction to apnoea
- Preparatory breathing and recovery techniques.
- Basic diving with fins.
- Pressure compensation and safety management.
AIDA 2 – Apnea beginners
- Endurance in static up to 2 minutes.
- Dynamic diving up to 40 metres in the pool and between 12-20 metres in depth.
- Rescue and recovery techniques.
AIDA 3 – Advanced Apnoea
- Dynamic diving up to 55 metres and in depths between 24-30 metres.
- Management of emergencies: self-rescue, rescue from 15 metres and transport of an unconscious freediver.
- In-depth study of advanced techniques such as Frenzel, Mausfil compensation and free fall.
Apnea is much more than a sport: it is a journey of self-discovery. During the courses you will learn to control your body, improve your concentration and overcome your limits, both physically and mentally.
If you have any questions or would like to sign up, write to me! I look forward to accompanying you on this extraordinary adventure!
