Toe's Freediving is a freediving school operating in the greater Seattle area that offers Molchanovs Wave 1 and Wave 2 courses in pool, open-water, and full-course formats. All programs run as three-day experiences combining classroom theory with hands-on practice in confined and open water settings.
Course offerings include Pool: Wave 1 and Pool: Wave 2, Open Water: Wave 1 and Open Water: Wave 2, and Full Course: Wave 1 and Full Course: Wave 2 (Molchanovs Wave 2 Advanced Freediver). Instruction covers essential freediving topics such as equalization methods including Frenzel, breathing and relaxation techniques, static and dynamic training, no-fins practice, depth and distance dives, and injury-prevention strategies.
Full Course: Wave 2 specifically focuses on advanced no-fins techniques and depth training to 30 meters. Pool courses emphasize confined-water skill development and controlled practice for dynamic and static disciplines, while open-water courses transition classroom skills into guided ocean depth progression. Safety and progressive skill-building are central, with structured practice sessions and technique-focused coaching.
Participants may bring personal gear; Pool: Wave 2 explicitly notes that gear is available to rent on-site. The curriculum is designed to serve beginners through advancing freedivers, with Wave 1 introducing foundational skills and Wave 2 expanding depth, distance, and advanced techniques. Toe's Freediving positions its offerings as practical, safety-minded, and education-focused pathways into freediving and underwater exploration.
