Freediving Coaching/Training
Our training sessions are conducted in small groups of just 1–2 guests per instructor, allowing us to deliver truly personalized coaching and close attention. At Freedive Irabu Mexico, we combine over nine years of international experience training, competing, and teaching alongside some of the world's top freedivers, instructors, and training centers across Egypt, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and beyond. Our coaching philosophy is built on one key principle: students progress faster and more confidently in a personalized, supportive environment.
Each session is led by a highly experienced AIDA Instructor Trainer or Master Instructor, ensuring the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and effective progression. We tailor every session to your individual goals, level, and comfort—whether you want to improve your technique, refine your breathing, build confidence, or reach new depths in cenotes.
Over the years, we have guided students of all levels—from complete beginners to freediving instructors, -70m competitive freedivers, national champions, and record holders. Whether you are looking to take your skills to the next level, refresh your fundamentals, or safely achieve your target dives, our coaching sessions are designed for freedivers at every stage.
Even if you are not specifically seeking coaching but want to dive with professional safety support—including experienced instructors and oxygen on site—this is the ideal option for you. You can also enjoy fun training sessions focused on exploring and experiencing the beauty of cenotes in a relaxed way.
