Discovery/ Coaching / Training
This is a perfect introduction to freediving.
It is a real eye opener to those who think freediving is just advanced snorkeling!
​
This is also a great short course for those getting into spearfishing, water polo, synchronized swimming, surfing and more, as it covers much of what you need to know about holding your breath and freediving into the ocean.
For those who wants to take things further, the next step beyond this, would be to look at the AIDA / MOLCHANOVS or PADI Freediver courses to practice more in the open water.

​
Discovery
There are many factors that influence our freediving. That is why we will first evaluate your abilities and adjust the training to suit your individual level.
Coaching can be designing each day specifically for you, to help you relax and enjoy, at the same time as learning and developing, refining your skills.
Freediving coaching are for certified or experienced freedivers who would like to spend time with an instructor to improve their performance or prepare for their next level of certification.
In Moalboal, we have the chance to have a nice drop off right after the wall, and we can guarantee depths up to 50-55m, just at swimming distance from the shore. For very deep coaching, we have a boat available and according to the weather and current we have different possibilities (mooring or drifitng).
Please note that with the boat, there will be a 500 Php extra in the coaching session.

The coaching can help you in reaching goals such as holding your breath longer, improving your dynamic (with or without fins or Monofin), tuning your equalization technique, improving your diving technique, your diving depth and more. Like every sport, freediving is about dedication and training.​

Coaching
During the training session, you can just relax, focus and get prepare for your own dives, because you know that your buddy will watch after you.
​
During the training session, buddies are doing safety for each others, and we just provide the set up.

There is no coaching or teaching included during a training session, and this session is useful for those who just need practice or be in the water.
