Aimed at experienced freediving instructors who have organized and taught in a large number of recreational level training seminars and want to learn how to teach the theory and practice of Freediving Level 3*** / MASTER FREEDIVER and FREEDIVING LEVEL 4**** / TRAINING and COMPETITIVE FREEDIVING.

The Freediving Master Instructor Level 2 **, will have the ability to organize and train at all recreational freediving levels and to act as an assistant instructor in the training seminars of candidate instructors at all levels.

The purpose of the training seminar is for the participants to acquire knowledge on teaching techniques and demonstration of theoretical and practical subjects, to acquire the skills of planning and organizing trips for groups of up to 10 people, and to learn practices of identifying, predicting, and solving problems that may arise.

The seminar includes, among other things, the elaboration of essays and presentations both on specific and general topics, a final written evaluation, and a final lecture evaluation on one of the subjects to be taught during a free diving seminar of Freediving Level 3*** / MASTER FREEDIVER  or  FREEDIVING LEVEL 4**** / TRAINING and COMPETITIVE FREEDIVING.
