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.

They also offer regular trainings (pool and open water) allowing you to progress even after your course has been completed.

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!
