Freediving UAE brings a several important things to the table that you seldom find in comparable clubs.
1. Quality teaching that is truly a notch above the rest: AIDA courses are... read more taught by Yuriy, who is not only a regular judge at freediving competitions across the world but have also been a practitioner of freediving for more than a decade. The man has and ocean of experience, but what truly stands out is the patience and commitment when he transfers these skills to students. I have done AIDA2 course with him and what really struck me is how he works with each person at their own pace to get them to the milestones needed to be certified for that level. Once you have completed a course with him, you truly feel able, comfortable, and confident to do the dive.
2. A Real Passion for Freediving: Yuriy has a sincere love for freediving. My experience with his business stands in stark contrast to the experience I had with a different company when I did my Scuba course. Freediving UAE is not just out to get your money. There is a genuine interest to cultivate a love for the sport and to make sure you are technically equipped.
3. Social Interaction: You will see that several people who has left review use the words “freediving family”. I can vouch for that! One of the great aspects of this group is that you meet and stay in contact with people that share the same interest of diving.

Professional and fun trainings with people who care a lot about safety - these important components make the whole experience truly enjoyable. It's a very nice community - experienced deep divers, beginners - everyone is enjoying the time in the water and is supporting each other. And this group which is still growing! Thanks a lot for all the efforts of captain Yuiry, who shaped the best Freediving School and Community in the UAE - looking forward for the next dive on Friday! If you want to get into Freediving - get in touch - we're all looking forward to share our passion with you!
