Usually I don’t spare honest nice words about him and I will not hesitate today.
Not only he is a true champion in his heart, but also very dedicated, kind, loving and patient man (which I really appreciate!).

I wish us long and happy journey together and many many more achievements for you!

With all my heart 😌

There are some dreams

in our lifes, that definitely should turn into goals, and it’s real!

I came to freediving for this - I wanted to swim with dolphins in the wild and enjoy their natural interest for me. It was 8 years ago.

Now we organize this dream trip by ourselves. Last one in November was number 3 and again turned out to be a fantastic experience for the whole group.

Check out link in bio, we still have few places left for June 2023.

Let’s gooo!!! 💙

We’ve spent beautiful 3 days in Abu Dabbab bay, freediving with turtles and dugong. The trip that’s called “Search for Dugong” was both times for us a big success - almost an hour of swimming with this beautiful endangered animal.

Now we are heading to Sataya reef to spend another 4 days swimming and freediving with dolphins, amongst 20 already happy students and friends.

We will be right back with bunch of stunning pictures!

Wanna go with us next time?

KAS NEVER DISAPPOINTS

thats for sure. Right now we are in the middle of or last big freediving course in Kaş. After that - just few people for coaching, one instructor course and CMAS World Championship.

Time flies, hard to believe that this summer season will be over soon, we still feel that we just arrived here.

But well, next plans are established and we are happy to move forward:

18-25 Oct Amsterdam
25-1 Nov Paris
Starting from 1st of November we are back to Egypt. Our courses in November will be happening from 7 till 19 of November, and 21-27 Nov is our 2nd Freediving trip to dolphins!

Plans are pretty exciting, as you can see. Join us anytime 😏

MOUTHFILL

Recently I was in Moscow. The original plan was that Pete will come with, but circumstances were on the way. So one of the reasons I went anyway was the big Mouthfill workshop, that was planned in 2 parts: dry and wet 😏

1st part was a lecture about this type of equalization plus practical exercises, as a 2nd part one day later we had a long session in Moscow deep pool (12m).

What can I say: I work with my mouthfill for years now, and all education I’ve got in this area plays great role. I not only constantly master my EQ, but find the best ways to explain important details, so our students also succeed.

I’ve got to say that many freedivers only think that they perform MF, usually it’s just some extra air stored in their mouth, but technic is pure Frenzel. It takes time to see the difference (I’ve been through this myself), but the result is awesome, so don’t hesitate to find a professional who’s gonna guide you through the learning process.

Few tips from me:

⁃ Make sure you understand the process in theory

⁃ Do the dry exercises. Do. The. Dry. Exercises. Period.

⁃ Mouthfill is about 15-20 precise calculated steps during the dive.
Each one is important, pay attention.

⁃ There are only 2 possible reasons to “swallow”: too much pressure in the cheeks and tensed belly. Most of the time they are both there. Why does it happen? MF doesn’t give strong feedback like Frenzel, so we push harder “just in case”

⁃ If you repeat the same mistake over and over again, “make sure you see a specialist about that”. You will save a lot of time and effort.

There are dozens of ways to master your mouthfill. Is yours perfect? Share in comments or ask questions

It’s a special day today!

We are finally moving to Turkey for this summer season. It is very necessary for us not only to change diving location and prepare for upcoming CMAS World Championship, but enjoy green views, Mediterranean cuisine, great cold rose in a sweaty glass and of course meet out friends.

Just a quick reminder for you guys, that we are teaching from 10th of July till 11 of September and courses are pretty much booked, but you can still ask about available dates.

See you soon!

MEET ANDREY

Today he did his 1st Personal Best in the last 4 years.
He was coming to dive with us several times starting from 2019, the year when we met being together in the National Team on Depth World Championship in Nice. It’s was never longer than 2 weeks.

It was a struggle for him and he always stayed at the depth of 72-75 meters.

What were we working on:

- Totally rebuild EQ (Mouthfill)
- Changed breath up and recovery breathing
- Polished monofin technic
- Changed monofin to Cetma Taras

As a result today he did nice clean dive to 84 meters having extra air for EQ on the bottom.

Congratulations and way to go!
