Freediving Malta, your questions answered

No. The one-day Discovery experience is designed for complete beginners. You learn the basics step by step — theory, breathing, relaxation and supervised line diving — with a certified instructor by your side the whole time.

Everything: pick-up and drop-off at Mġarr, Gozo, all freediving equipment, theory and safety briefing, guided breathing and stretching, a supervised line diving session and underwater photos. Just bring swimwear and a towel.

Message us on WhatsApp with your preferred dates. We confirm availability, sea conditions and meeting details — booking is done entirely through WhatsApp.

Pick-up is every day at 10:00 AM at the Mġarr ferry terminal in Gozo. Courses and experiences run daily, subject to sea conditions.

Wave 1 is the world's most trusted beginner certification: 3 days of theory, relaxation, breathing and progressive depth training to 20 m, for €430. It certifies you to freedive safely with a buddy.

Wave 2 is the advanced Molchanovs certification: 4 days covering mouthfill equalization, freefall and training towards 30 m and beyond, for €480. You need Wave 1 (or an equivalent certification) to join.

Yes. Certified freedivers can join guided line training sessions for €70 per session, with coaching on technique and depth on the dive line.

May to October offers the warmest water (22–28 °C) and the best visibility. Spring and autumn bring quieter dive sites, and courses run year-round when conditions allow.

You should be able to swim and be in normal good health. All activities take place in a supervised environment with buoyancy and equipment provided — you don't need to be an athlete to start.

The Molchanovs Movement is the largest freediving community worldwide, officially launched in early 2018. It is built around certification courses and quality training — a complete freediving system created by professional and recreational freedivers, from your first breath-hold to record-level depth.

You can start immediately — the best time is now. Booking begins with registering your details on the Molchanovs dashboard: once your course is booked, you gain access to the study materials and tutorials.

Yes. We accept a deposit to secure your booking and the registration fee — it confirms your spot in the course.

The certification courses consist of several open water sessions plus one pool session. If you're based in Malta, there's no need to take them consecutively — we build the schedule around your dates.

The dashboard is the home for all freedivers, regardless of location, goals or experience: educational materials, weekly Base Trainings, your logged achievements and a community of freedivers to exchange knowledge and train together with.

Once you meet the Molchanovs requirements for your course — both in the sea and in the pool — and pass the course exam, your certification is issued. It's recognised worldwide and never expires.
