Hi, I recently became an Aida freediving instructor and will start teaching AIDA 1,2,3 in Montenegro starting in about a month.
I am currently in Germany and about to order the needed equipment which I will then take with me to Montenegro. I am looking for some advice about what to buy.
Situation:
- I am planning to teach from Mid May to Mid October
- Average water temperature (celcius): May (19), June (21), July (24), August (25), September (23), October (20)
- I am teaching max. 3 people at the same time
- Students will be beginners (doing aida 2, or sometimes 3)
- Students will not have their own equipment
I need: masks, suits, weights, weight belts, fins, socks
Probably it is enough to buy cheaper scuba suits instead of freediving suits as they are more robust.
https://www.scubastore.com/scuba-diving was recommended to me and it seems they can deliver pretty quickly.
Questions:
- Assuming I will have mixed (men and women) groups of 3 people which suits & masks in which sizes should I buy to cover the most "common denominator"
- Since people will use socks probably the size should be a bit bigger for masks?
- Does someone has a good brand for suits and masks in mind for beginners?
- Assuming I am in Berlin, is https://www.scubastore.com/scuba-diving a good provider to order from?
- Does anyone know where I can order a good freediving buoy which comes with custom printing?
Any help/recommendation is highly appreciated.
Cheers from Berln
Fabian
