Vali, I see Martin Stepanek's F.I.I. school does a course in Prague in September. It is taught by David Cani. You can find more info here:
F.I.I. Freediving Instructors International - from the beginner to the instructor

As for the accomodation - if you decide to go, let me know, I think I can arrange something for you in a very nice location close to the historical city center - my friend rents appartments there.

You can also contact Martin Zajac at Apneaman.cz - they do courses in Prague, in Croatia, and in Egypt under the logo of Apnea Academy. See the contact details here: Freediving - Apneaman

Today's exchange rate is 1€ / 26.092 Czk, it means 3800 = approx. 145€

You best contact them, perhaps they can certify you for the level II too.

 

[vali]

Then there are also some other courses by Czech freedivers:
Potáp??ské kurzy ~ Connex Diving - Potáp?ní - Chorvatsko ? ostrov Pag ? Stara Novalja ? Kurzy potáp?ní - Novalja (at the bottom of the page)

or here: Kurzy freedivingu - nádechového potáp?ní (in Croatia)

In all cases, you best contact the responsible people by email for more details

 

[vali]

[vali]

pls help

 

[vali]

when i send the info at connex@seznam.cz the following mesage was displayed "Email byl úspěšně odeslán"
i don-t know czech language....what is that means?

 

[trux]

"Email succesfully sent"

 

[vali]

thanks!

 

[vali]

still no answer

Well, from my experience most freedivers are rather slow to communicate by email. Perhaps they are spending too much time in water. If you hurry, calling may be a quicker solution.

 

[apneaboy]

Yeah give them a few days at least. They might be away at a comp or something or working all week and taking e-mails at weekend.

It will be worth the wait i'm sure

 

[trux]

Yes, there is the Czech Championship beginning tomorrow, so most of them are probably busy with it now. At least the people from Apneaman.cz - they are the organizers. I am in Prague now too fot the competition. I can try to ask for you if you tell me what dates you are interested in.

Vali: I can certainly endorse Martin's class, best money I have ever spent, you'll learn a lot of tips from it you will use every single dive day. please report as to how it goes.

basically i want to go in croatia at the beggining of august
i want to stay 9 days
if in this 9 days i can do the course and take my 2*card it will be fine
now!
some of them offer accomodation, others do not
if i wil come with my wife and some friends, can they take advantage from this accomodation?...because if not, i will be forced to search accomodation separatelly from the freediving school offer
first i was tempted to do the course in prague, because i know that it is a very beautiful city, but on a second thaught i guess the sea make the difference [i will go in prague some other time]

 

[samdive]

as far as I know Martin is not an AIDA instructor - so probably not - but the course you do with him should be just as good - if not loads better!

 

[vali]

ok!
the weekend passed without any answers....
to bad
