Begin your journey into the

professional freediving world

You’ve swum the waters, felt the silence, and now it’s time to guide others into the depths. The Molchanovs Wave 2 Instructor course is where your freediving becomes a calling — where you learn to teach with clarity, safety, and heart. Over 10 days, your instructor trainer Nicolas will accompany you every step of the way. In this course you’ll master how to deliver both theory and water skills, manage risk, and build your teaching practice. You’ll emerge ready to lead students through their own journeys beneath the waves.

Why Molchanovs ?

Molchanovs is more than a certification system — it’s a global, growing community built by freedivers for freedivers. You’ll gain access to ever-evolving teaching materials, a training session library for all levels, and support for your development as an instructor. And best of all: you don’t need to be anchored to a dive centre. With annual membership, you’re free to lead your own courses, wherever your blue mind takes you.
