Go deeper and take on real responsibility for your buddy — constant-weight dives to around 24 metres, free immersion, and rescue from 20 metres.
AIDA 3★ extends your range to roughly 24 metres constant-weight, introduces free immersion (pulling down and up the line), pushes static apnea to 2:45, and trains you to recognise and rescue a buddy from 20 metres — a serious step up in both depth and responsibility.
You need a current AIDA 2★ certification (or equivalent from another agency) and to be at least 16 years old.
Dahab's calm, deep, crystal-clear water — especially the Blue Hole — makes it one of the world's best places to learn freediving. All AIDA courses here are taught by certified freediving instructors, with small groups and all equipment included. Dahab's Blue Hole, with its sheer drop to over 100 metres right off the shore, is one of the best AIDA 3★ training environments anywhere.
AIDA 3★ in Dahab costs €330 through our verified partner centres, including instruction, safety supervision and equipment. Reserve online for free and pay at the dive centre on the day. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before you start.
The final recreational level, AIDA 4★, pushes toward 32 metres with mouthfill equalisation.
