Freediving Courses with Adam Stern

Want to learn to freedive in Sydney? Or keen to better your freediving skills? I run freediving courses both in Australia as well as overseas. Coming soon in Bali, Philippines & Tonga.

In Australia, I teach courses primarily in Sydney although I do also run courses all over the country. Please let me know if you are interested. Have a look through my offered courses and find which one suits you. Whether you are a beginner freediver, advanced or are at instructor level I run courses that suit your skill level.

The Molchanovs Education and Training System

I believe that traditional freediving courses are not the best way to teach someone to freedive. A diver does not progress through taking many courses. They progress through constant training. Which is why after a student finishes a Molchanovs course they are given access to the Molchanovs Training Community. Where myself and the worlds top freedivers and trainers publish a weekly training program for each freediving level. The training program is called Base Training.

Australian Courses

Yes! a full and comprehensive and FREE training program is available to all Molchanovs students written by World Record Holder Alexey Molchanov, World Record Holder Goran Colak and myself. This training program will consist of minimum:

3 x pool training sessions per week
1 x depth training session and
2 x breathing, stretching and equalisation sessions per week.

After a student finishes the Wave 1 course they are given access to the Base 1 training program. After a student finishes the Wave 2 course they are given access to the Base 2 training program, where the skill level, difficulty and complexity of the program increases. After the Wave 3 course a student if given access to the Base 3 training program, which is designed for high level freedivers to take their diving to the next level. After a student finishes the Wave 4 course they are given access to Base 4, the Molchanovs training program for elite and competitive divers.

Within their bases levels each student has the ability to scale the training so it’s appropriate for them but all Molchanovs students will do the same training, all over the world, as a global freediving community. We will all stay connected through the Molchanovs App and be able to share ideas, discuss our training and report our improvements.

We are a community of freedivers creating the best product for the freediving community. If you have taken courses with other agencies you may be admitted into base training through a Molchanovs instructor. So if you would like access to the most complete and developed training program and system on thee planet let me know and I can direct you to your nearest Molchanovs Instructor.
