During this 10-day SSI Instructor course, you will learn the theory and in water teaching skills that you need to be a confident, efficient, and knowledgeable freediving professional. Every day there will be theory workshops, pool sessions, open water sessions, and interactive teaching sessions where we will look at real-world scenarios for you to gain the ability to recognise common mistakes that occur during freediving courses and how to help and problem-solve with students to overcome these issues. We also look at other areas related to freediving including how to market yourself, the business side of freediving, and how to set up a course from start to finish.
Freediving Instructor courses are capped at 6 instructor candidates per course. Having these smaller group sizes means that we really get to know one another and create a comfortable, safe space for candidates to learn and grow. It also means there is plenty of time for each candidate to receive one-on-one coaching specific to their needs and there is more time for requirements, training, and depth training.
This extensive course is for anyone who eats, sleeps, and breathes freediving, for those who want to level up, and for anyone who is looking for the opportunity to earn an income doing what they love and be able to teach freediving anywhere in the world.
This course is led by Daniel Parsons, owner and director of Freediving Central. Daniel has trained and mentored a large number of freediving instructors and freediving school operators across Australia, particularly throughout Sydney and Queensland. His focus is on producing calm, capable instructors with strong safety systems, clear teaching methods, and the confidence to deliver high-quality courses in real-world environments.
