Day 1: Theory & The Pool

• Morning (09:00 – 12:00): Classroom theory. Understanding the "Mammalian Dive Response" and learning the Frenzel Equalization technique—the secret to diving deep comfortably.
• Afternoon (14:00 – 17:00): Pool or shallow water session. We focus on Static (STA) to find your mental calm and Dynamic (DYNB) to perfect your finning technique.

Day 2: Into the Blue

• Morning (08:30 – 12:00): Open Water Session 1 & 2. We head to the "house reef" or a deep buoy. You'll practice Free Immersion (FIM)—pulling down the line—and Constant Weight (CWT)—kicking down with fins.
• Afternoon: Video analysis. We review your footage to tweak your body position and streamlining.

Day 3: Depth & Graduation

• Morning (08:30 – 11:30): Open Water Session 3. Final depth attempts (12-20m) and, most importantly, Safety & Rescue drills. You'll learn how to be a reliable buddy.
• Late Morning: Final Exam and Certification ceremony.
