Master Course

Refine your technique, awareness, and depth in a 5-day master course with Carlos and Petra. Small-group coaching, four full ocean days, and time to train without rush — focused on precision, presence, and confidence at 30–40 meters.

The Wave 3 Master Course is for freedivers who are ready to grow — in depth, awareness, and understanding of themselves in the ocean. It’s the step where technique, trust, and presence begin to come together.


With only 5 students per group and two instructors — Carlos Coste, 12× world-record holder with more than 20 years of experience, and Petra Oberucova, master instructor and professional safety diver known for her calm, detailed coaching — every dive receives full attention. There’s no rush, no pressure; we take the time to repeat, adjust, and refine until everything feels right.


We start with a full day on a private beach for confined-water sessions: stretching, breathwork, static and dynamic practice, and equalization workshops. Then come four full ocean days, each beginning with dry warm-ups, advanced equalization practice, and personalized feedback before heading out to sea. Training ranges between 30 and 40 meters, always adapted to your level and comfort.


Throughout the course you’ll work on mouthfill, FRC dives, and free-fall technique, while exploring the mental side of deep diving — visualization, attention deconcentration, and staying relaxed and aware as you descend. These are the tools that build long-term confidence and ease at depth.

By the end of the course you’ll not only earn your Molchanovs Wave 3 certification, but also gain the foundation to assist instructors or take the next step toward teaching.
