Static Apnoe Workshop

After their own arrival, participants will meet the workshop team in the entrance area of the swimming pool. From there we will go to the seminar room where shortly after there will be a presentation by Tom about the most important aspects for a successful time dive and all further information about the procedure will be given. About two hours later we go together to the swimming pool. Here Tom demonstrates once again what a well-prepared dive looks like and what the participants have to pay attention to during their time dives. For the best possible supervision, participants will be divided into buddy teams, after which they will conduct several dives. The focus here is on applying what has been learned. For the most individual feedback possible, binding supervision times are agreed upon for the participants.

All instructors and assistants are trained in freediving specific first aid. In addition, as a first aid instructor, Tom will cover the most important safety aspects as part of his presentation. An emergency oxygen kit will be available at the pool throughout.
