TRAIN WITH A REASON
Better freedivers do not just train harder — they train more deliberately.
Training Techniques is about learning how to organize freediving practice instead of simply repeating dives or chasing personal bests.
We focus on goals, workload, technique, recovery, adaptation and how to choose the right type of session for the skill you are trying to improve.
Quick answer: SSI allows Pool Freediver-certified students or higher to register for Training Techniques from age 12. It is also an important specialty within SSI recognition and professional pathways.
Prerequisites: Minimum age 12. SSI Pool Freediver certification or equivalent is required.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Training regularly but not sure whether your sessions are actually moving you forward?
Training Techniques is for freedivers who want a framework for planning sessions instead of repeating the same dives or chasing depth every time.
- You want to separate technique, equalization, adaptation and performance goals.
- You want to understand recovery, repetition quality and training load.
- You want a repeatable way to evaluate progress beyond personal-best depth.
WHAT WE WORK ON
Structure, observe, adjust, repeat.
The exact sequence adapts to the diver and conditions, while the required SSI standards remain the foundation of the program.
Choose the session
Match drills and workload to the actual goal instead of training everything at once.
Manage recovery
Understand rest, repetition quality and why more volume is not always better.
Track progress
Use useful observations and logbook data rather than judging only by maximum depth.
Build progression
Create a practical next-step plan that can be repeated safely.
WHAT YOU DEVELOP
Skills you can take into your next training session.
Session planning
Give each training day one clear purpose.
Progression
Increase challenge without losing technique.
Recovery
Use rest and repetition quality intelligently.
Technical feedback
Know what to observe beyond the final depth number.
Adaptation
Understand that different goals need different training exposures.
Long-term structure
Create a simple framework for continued improvement.
Course outcome: You leave with a practical method for defining a training objective, choosing appropriate drills, managing recovery and evaluating whether the session achieved what it was designed to do.
WHY LIFE AQUATIC IN KAŞ
Small groups. Direct feedback. Skills before numbers.
Life Aquatic uses the same principle in coached depth training: one clear objective is more useful than five competing goals. We connect the theory to real examples from equalization, technique, adaptation and depth sessions.
WHAT WE PRIORITIZE
Technique that still works when the dive gets harder.
We use progressive practice, individual feedback and realistic session goals so the skill you learn is repeatable — not something that only worked once during the course.

Can I combine it with coached training?
Yes, when schedule and training load allow. That is often a practical way to apply the concepts.
Will this specialty give me a personal training plan?
The course teaches the framework for building and evaluating training. We also discuss how to apply it to your current goals and can continue that work through coached training.
