This freediving school has built something special around expert instruction and genuine community. The instructors, particularly Brittani, Chris, Viv, and Charlie, consistently earn praise for making nervous beginners feel comfortable while teaching solid technique. Students appreciate how they balance safety and fun, never rushing anyone beyond their comfort zone. The courses include classroom, pool, and open water sessions, with instructors providing helpful video feedback so you can see your progress in real-time.

The staff clearly knows their stuff when it comes to gear recommendations too. Whether you're completely new to freediving or looking to level up your skills, the team seems genuinely invested in helping you succeed. Several reviews note the strong sense of community, which seems to extend beyond just the courses themselves into ongoing training sessions and charter trips.
I had a great and safe time with taking the combo spearfishing and freedriving course. The care that they go into making you a better diver before the class and after is thoughtful. They have really experienced team members that have the years of experience but also the passion. Awesome crew and awesome vibes.
