WAVE 3 INSTRUCTOR UPGRADE

Deepen your impact, teach the advanced path

You’ve guided others into the freedom of water. Now you’re ready to lead them into the deeper zones of technique and self-mastery. The Molchanovs Wave 3 Instructor upgrade course empowers you to teach expert freedivers — to guide students through mouthfill, mental depth training, FRC dives, and the full spectrum of deep teaching.

Over a minimum of 3 full immersive days, your instructor trainer Nicolas will share from his experience in depth, training, and leadership. By the end, you’ll carry both the know-how and the presence to teach Lap/Wave 3 courses with confidence.

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.
