I founds Freediving UAE after doing extensive research on freediving courses. This is THE place to learn to freedive. Yuriy is not only skilled and highly knowledgeable, he is also... read more absolutely passionate and will hook you both to diving and his wicked sense of humour!
Trainings are fun yet technical and well supervised. You can improve very fast thanks to Yuriy's knowledge, the regular trainings, and the group of more experienced divers who are supportive and generous in sharing advice. I trained both in the pool and at sea to get certified. Every training felt like I learnt a lot and improved both my technique and love for the practice.
Beyond that, the sense of community Yuriy has created is truly magical: I felt like I was part of a family within a few minutes of meeting everyone. The Pirates group will welcome you with open arms and make you laugh above and under the sea (recommended to take your snorkel off first)!
I can't wait to be back very soon, and would recommend it to anyone!
