Molchanovs Instructor Course & Crossover

Teach Freediving the Molchanovs Way

Molchanovs is one of the world’s leading freediving education systems, founded by multiple world record holder Alexey Molchanov. Its courses combine clear, modern teaching with a strong focus on safety, technique and individual progression.

As a Molchanovs Instructor Trainer, Kaleigh “Keke” McBride offers both the full Wave 2 Instructor Course and the Instructor Crossover in Palm Beach, Florida. Keke is the first and only female Molchanovs Instructor Trainer in the continental U.S. Training is private or in a very small group, so you get detailed feedback on your own diving and your teaching.

Graduates can teach Molchanovs Wave 1, Wave 2, Lap 1 and Lap 2 courses.
