2.5.Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus)
Theoretical lectures
1.Sports disciplines in apnea diving, the history of the greatest successes of the Croatian and world competitors. (1L)
2.Apnea diving equipment (for pool disciplines and depth disciplines), specificities of the water ambient (diving reflex), the composition of air and partial pressures of different gasses, the changes of vision and hearing in the water. (1L)
3.The basics of physical laws that have influence on diver under the water (the effects of the underwater physiological surroundings on the human body), dynamics of partial pressures in apnea following normal breathing and following hyperventilation. (1L)
4.Problems and dangers in apnea diving: rules, security, and first aid procedures in apnea diving (below the surface, at water surface, and in depth diving). (1L)
5.Learning of the basic techniques of diving with stereo fins, with monofin and without fins. (1L)
6.The basics of physical conditioning in apnea divers (general physical conditioning, muscle hypertrophy, diagnostic procedures in apnea diving). (1L)
