The Molchanovs Instructor Course at Freedive Academy is designed for freedivers who are ready to teach with calm, safety, and structure.

During the ITC, candidates learn how to guide students through skills, manage training sessions, and support safe progress in the water. Each day builds teaching confidence through real practice, clear feedback, and steady mentorship.

Becoming an instructor is not only about depth or performance. It is about learning how to lead people with awareness, patience, and care.

Freediving can feel like a quiet reset. You rest before the dive, breathe slowly, and notice how your body feels. In the water you move with care, keep your focus simple, and let your COโ‚‚ tolerance grow step by step. Many beginners find they leave the session more relaxed and more aware of their body. At Freedive Academy Panglao we teach these habits from the first course so you build comfort and safety from day one.

Training Lines & Good Vibes: Napaling Edition ๐ŸŒŠ

The open-water line training at Napaling brought together students from different levels, places, and stories. Some were learning the basics. Some were refining skills. All were part of the same line, the same sea, and the same Freedive Academy culture: grow together, dive safer, and support each other every step of the way.

Because here, training is not just about going deeper.
It is about showing up for your dive buddy, sharing the wins, and making the hard parts feel lighter.

Ready to join the line? Donโ€™t worry, weโ€™ll save you a float. ๐Ÿ˜‰

After a long dive day in Panglao, adobo and rice feel just right. Simple food, steady energy, and a quiet end to hours in the ocean.

Share this with someone you would enjoy an adobo dinner with after diving.

Between two reef walls, you hang still in the blue. No rush to go deeper. No rush to go up. Just a clear mind and a relaxed body.

In moments like this, depth feels less like a number and more like a quiet room. You notice the pressure on your ears, the weight of your fins, and how calm you can stay.

This is what we teach at Freedive Academy Panglao. Move with the water. Save your energy. Respect the reef. Let each dive show you a little more about yourself.
