Im a fairly seasoned freediver at an intermediate level who has dived in several places and I have to say freediving with Apnea Pirates aka Freediving UEA in Fujairah was... read more surprisingly pleasant. The water condition in Nov was calm and temperature at 27-29 degC was great for a 1.5mm wetsuit. The highlight however was freediving with Yuriy who is very experienced and encouraged me to try new things to fine tune my technique. Most importantly, during my deep dives, Yuriy made me feel very safe and assured. Overall excellent experience and would recommend it to Freedivers of any level!
