ARTICLES

The following articles have been written by AIDA instructor candidates as assignments given to them during their instructor training course. The content of the following might not be completley accurate as it is notorious that freediving science is not perfect and very little scientific research has been made to date. Also, we recommend that you don't use the content of these writings for your own personal experiments as some of this information is very advanced and no beginner should attempt any self experimenting especially if unsupervised.
