The International Association for the Development of Apnea (AIDA) was founded in 1992 “by Freedivers, For Freedivers”, to organize the worldwide community and gain recognition for the emerging sport of freediving.
As the symbol of freediving, AIDA has developed a core set of values to guide the sport as it evolves in a rapidly growing market:
•Safety - through ongoing research, standardisation, and education.
•Fairness - lead by consistent evaluation of all athletic performances in the international competition circuit and followed at all the levels of the organisation.
•Accessibility - through its structure of National representatives that ensure proximity and affordability in all corners of the world.
AIDA was developed as an umbrella organization to cover all aspects of the sport and the synergies between competition, education, and community are the foundation of its uniqueness — an association dedicated to “All Freediving and Nothing but Freediving."
Nervous Waters means Great Fishing. And Great Fishing is an overall experience involving far more than the actual fishing itself. It is a combination of sporting excellence with the highest level of total service: lodging and cuisine provided at the most exacting standards, guiding in the hands of experienced and fully dedicated professionals, and careful planning and organization which takes even the slightest details into account. We like to describe our company as being of anglers and for anglers.
