Vali,

in Germany we have only a handful of freediving schools and there are only 3 AIDA freediving instructors in whole Germany!!!!

Dont think it makes any difference if its with mono or bi fins vali as far as I know. There are no instructors here either but hopefully in the future I will get there.
 
I'm not an instructor (yet), but AFAIK the sort of fin doesn't matter. I did some things with a mono and others with stereofins and it was never a topic.
 
the written exam cannot be so hard....:)
the hardest exam that i was "forced" to do is the skipper licence....an entire day with 4 exams:p
of course high-school exam not included:D

Yes, thats it...regarding the monofin I dont know, but I pressume that it would be accepted since its advanced way of swimming...but thtas just my opinion :-)

Exam was the easiest part for me and other divers that were there with me so you shouldn't really bother with that part...

Hope I helped, meet you somewhere in the deep blue someday :trofl
