TESTIMONIALS
"Cela fait plusieurs années que je veux débuter l'apnée parceque je suis curieux des sensations que procurent à la fois le calme et le challenge de la descente en profondeur. Christophe m'a entrainé progressivement aux 20m pour obtenir le PADI 2. Ses exercices de relaxation et d'étirements m'ont permis de lâcher prise et de profiter pleinement du cadre idyllique de Lombok. J'ai beaucoup appris sur moi pendant ces 5 jours et c'est ce que je recherchais aussi. Je retiens l'accueil chaleureux que j'ai reçu de ta part. 🙂 J'ai beaucoup apprécié discuter avec toi (et Dimas) en dehors des cours, et profiter des petits restaurants de Senggigi. J'envisage le niveau 3 dès que possible. J'espère te recroiser prochainement ! 👌 "

"Chris taught me my PADI Beginner & Advanced in the Gili Islands and as others have mentioned below he also contributed significantly to going on to do my Level 3 and now Instructor Course also. He is enthusiastic, knowledgable and fun to be taught by and helped me progress quickly within my limits. Thanks Chris!"
Tommy
Chris is an amazing instructor, he knows a lot about freediving but as well relaxation, yoga, nutrition... He is patient, relaxing, fun and will help you either if you're a beginner or want to train for competition.

Freediving FAQ
Freediving, free-diving, free diving, breath-hold diving, apnea diving or skin diving is a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding until resurfacing rather than the use of breathing apparatus such as scuba gear.
Freediving requures some training to learn the good practice and dive in a safe way.
It is recommended to get a certification for a freediving agencies in order for you to learn the good practice and the safety drills. It will also allow you to keep your freediving journey to a different freediving store or agencies.
No, you don’t need to start from the beginning. For most training agencies we have direct crossover, which means that you can go on the next step directly.
Contact me or chat with us to know check with us.
If you have regular problems with otitis, sinusitis, curvature of the nasal septum or other diseases connected with ears or nasal sinuses it may slow down your progress or even make diving impossible.
In this case we recommend you to visit ENT doctor in advance. If you may solve this problems before the course it will make your learning more effective because equalization in ears and sinuses is the most often problem which can stop you before diving to your possible depth limits.
To avoid any risks, it is recommended to not five the same day or at least keep 12 hours between scuba dicing and freediving. During your course you will learn more why.
If you never taken a freediving course before it is highly recommended that you start with the Beginner or Level 1 course. You will learn some concept in the beginner course, that won't be necessary covered again in the next course such as relaxation breathing, equalization, recovery breathing, even-though you instructor will be there to remind you all the good practice.
As a spearfisher, you are probably confortable in the water, which is a great advantage to start a course.
But it is highly recommended to take a freediving course where you will learn more about safety and good techniques for you to stay longer and dive safer.
