Amazing! Loved every minute of my training. I was a bit anxious in the beginning as freediving is usually portraid as an extreme sport, whereas, I was just looking to extend... read more my brethhold and go a bit deeper. But my instructor, Yuri made me feel very comfortable and was readily answering all my questions. Freediving UAE is a great place to not only get your certificate but also meet a great deal of like minded people, beginners and experienced freedivers alike. The weekly trip to Fujeirah is something I now constantly look forward too.

I got my first Freediving certificate back in 2016 and met the Freediving UAE team back in 2018 during the Freedive Expo in Dubai for the first time.
Since then... read more I am training and diving with Freediving UAE on a regular base! 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!

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!
