Freediving Coaching/Training
In Freedive Irabu we have gained experience throughout the years (8+ years), training, competing and co/teaching with some of the best athletes, instructors and freediving centers in the world in countries like Egypt, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia and more. We have created a training philosophy where we noticed the success rate of students and learning curve grows with impecable results and most importantly good sensations throughout the process. We have seen our students grow from being unable to swim and put their face in the water growing up to become Freediving Instructors, -70m competition Freedivers, National Champions and Record Holders.
This training-coaching sessions are personalized for Freedivers from all levels who want to take their skills to the new level, practice or refresh your skills or learn new skills from to achieve new depths at Cenotes, all of it while having safety oriented and experienced Freediving Master instructors with years of experience coaching athletes and Freedivers Worldwide.
