Aida instructor training?

[Christophefp]

Hi every one

I am planning to work in europe with free diving, so I would like to become competent. I find out so far that there is available Aida courses (most known) and also SSI is who is starting courses.
Any idea why to choice one or another? any other option?

I been trying to find a place to get an Aida 4 stars and instructor course this winter. I been looking on the net and didn't fine anything yet.
I have about beguinning of december to the end of february for this training.
I am not too much bother about the country, preferably not to expensive ticket from europe.
All sugestion welcome.

Hey christophe, Apnea academy is an option as well but only does a course in english every two years and in italian every year i think. Egypt should have a few places to do both 4 star and instructor

Freediving club Greece (because you live in in Greece) gives 4* aida courses but i don't think they give an instructor course. Maybe you can contact them for more information...

i would go AIDA over SSI. more accpepted world wide and you'll have more freediving schools to work with in Europe.

contact AIDA directly for info on where and when you can do the 4* and Instructor courses that would be the easiest.

The apnea academy International Instructor course was real fun and the best value for money IMHO, it is taught personally by Umberto and his best "instructor instructors". You get to really learn from a wide range of great freedivers. And you get to use the variable sled every day. 'Nuff said?

Full disclosure: i am biased

I send two email to Stavros who is the instruction officer at Aida, no answer, I found some course with SSI In egypte with Lota and Linda for this winter.
I will probably take it as I can't fine anything with Aida.
Thank's every one for suggestion.
