What our students are saying

Alma Libre changed my life forever. Francesca's training and instructions were exceptional. She was able to successfully guide me trough the physical, mental and emotional process of doing apnea. She adapted the training and objectives as I progressed each day. It was hard, but having her constant support and warming heart in the buoy helped immensely to gain the confidence I needed. Both, Francesca and Alberto are top quality professionals and amazing human beings, passionate and caring. Alma Libre is the result of all that love, that seeks to give you meaningful experiences while having absurd amounts of fun, learning and personal growth. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.
JEF
My Wave 1 course with Francesca & Alberto was an absolute blast because they're both great teachers who will do all they can to make you improve and give you a memorable experience. And what I love the most about them is that they're simply amazing human beings. That's all that matters. A few more reasons why they deserved 5 stars: – excellent teaching in a fun and friendly atmosphere – beautiful underwater photos & videos – great communication and organization overall – new and high-quality gear – freediving in amazing cenotes Thank you Fra & Alberto <3
ANTHONY
Grateful for the amazing experience! Before signing up, I had doubts about my freediving abilities, but thanks to your dedication and teaching, I discovered a new world of possibilities. From day one, I felt supported and guided by Alberto, who not only has deep technical knowledge, but also a contagious passion for the sport. His teaching methods were clear and effective, allowing me to push my own limits and reach depth I've never thought possible. I have gained confidence in my abilities and found a new passion in my life. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in freediving. Thanks again for everything!
JONATHAN
Incredible experience. I did my freediving certification during the cenote camp adventure and although this was somewhat challenging for me, my instructors and organizers covered all doubts and insecurity, with their calm and loving experience making my process something magical that I enjoyed a lot. A freediving camping experience but in my case it became a spiritual retreat, with a lot of connection and love. 100% recommended, I'll be back soon!
ISRAEL
I just finished my first freediving course (Wave 1) with Alberto and Francesca. It was an incredible experience! I am very grateful to them for introducing me to this relaxing and beautiful sport. Francesca and Alberto are excellent instructors: they inspire calm and confidence, and they are very friendly and fun. We visited a beautiful cenote, ate delicious food and chatted non-stop. I hope to come back soon!

FAQs

In our wave 2 course, you will be introduced to new skills that will allow you to dive deeper and explore new techniques. You will learn the most natural freediving technique, CNF (no fins) and you will be working on the best part of freediving: the freefall. You will also work on a more advanced equalization technique that will help you go deeper. You will get more detailed knowledge and you will be able to push your limits further with more challenging requirements.
Even though 3 days is enough for many to pass all their requirements, it’s also not uncommon that some people may need some extra sessions to work on their skills to be able to meet the requirements. After the course is finished, you still have a whole year to be able to complete all the requirements. You can either book extra sessions with us or train with other Molchanovs instructors anywhere in the world and send us videos of your skills to be able to certify you.
The level 1 certification is the most important course as gives you the foundation everything else will be built on. If you don't have any freediving certification, you have to start with Wave 1 even if you already have the Wave 2 requirements. Once you successfully pass the course and acquire the correct technique and knowledge, you can go on with the level 2.
Yes! If you already have a freediving certification that is equivalent to the Molchanovs Wave 1, we can do what it's called a crossover and start the Wave 2 course. Please note that not all the agencies have the same requirements. For example, Aida 2 is equivalent to Molchanovs Wave 1.

Both of them are amazing experiences. In terms of freediving, the cenotes offer the best conditions you can ask for: amazing visibily, no currents and no waves. This makes the learning process easier for new freedivers providing a controlled and friendly environment. For more advanced freedivers, cenotes allows them to go deeper and push their limits. The temperature of the cenotes in our area remains constant throughout the year and range from 26°C- to 28°C. A full 3 mm wetsuit is perfect to enjoy a nice freediving session.
