Freedive UK

🌊 Early next week is looking like an absolutely cracking!

Almost flat seas, barely a breath of wind and some beautiful conditions forecast for the Cornish coast.

Not bad for November! I'll definitely be making the most of it. 🤿☀️

Coming towards the end of my 17th season teaching freediving!

It's quite strange looking back at everything that's happened since starting FreediveUK in 2009.

Thousands of students taught, tens of thousands of dives, countless hours in the water, a bestselling book, television appearances, film and TV safety work, and some pretty incredible people and experiences along the way.

From teaching complete beginners to working with experienced divers, celebrities and production crews, it's certainly been a varied 17 years!

And we're not quite finished with 2026 yet. There's still some winter diving to be done, and I'm continuing to offer private one-to-one training throughout the colder months for anyone keen to get in the water.

A huge thank you to everyone who's been part of FreediveUK over the years. It's been quite a journey, and there's plenty more to come.

Here's to season 18! 🌊

Cornwall's Having a Bit of Weather! 🌊💨

22/10/2026

The first full episode of Down to the Water is now up on YouTube!

Starting close to home at the Gazzle in Newquay, with a wander down to the sea and a look at what's going on beneath the surface.

It's my first attempt at this sort of filming, so there are a few rough edges, but I'm looking forward to exploring more of the Cornish coastline and bringing you along.

Have a watch if you fancy a little trip down to the water.

Down to the Water 🌊 Episode 1

Trying something a little different! A new series of short trips along the Cornish coast, starting at the Gazzle in Newquay.

Still finding my feet with the filming and editing, so forgive the rough edges! 😂

A little look at Cornwall above and below the surface. Plenty more to come.

FROM THE MOOR TO THE SEA 🌊
The Winter Freediver

Cornwall doesn't close for winter.

In fact, I think some of the best days to explore Cornwall are during the quieter winter months. Empty beaches, deserted coves, wild moorland and some wonderful opportunities to get into the water.

I've created a new private winter adventure that takes you from the granite landscape of Bodmin Moor to the underwater reefs of the Cornish coast.

We start at Delphy Pool with an optional guided cold-water dip. Experience the exhilarating rush of cold water, learn to settle your breathing and discover just how invigorating a brief immersion can feel.

Then we'll explore a few breathing and freediving fundamentals before jumping in the car and bimbling down the quiet Cornish lanes towards the coast.

I'll choose a sheltered cove according to the day's conditions, we'll get into our wetsuits and head into the Atlantic to explore rocky reefs, kelp forests and the marine life beneath the surface.

Snorkelling, freediving, or a bit of both. You don't need to be an experienced freediver, and there's no requirement to dive deep. We'll explore at your pace, making the most of whatever the winter sea has to offer.

Afterwards, it's warm clothes, a hot drink and a chance to enjoy having the place almost entirely to ourselves.

Just me and you (or two of you), discovering a quieter, wilder Cornwall. No crowds, no big groups and no performance targets.

£450 for one person | £500 for two
All water equipment included. Beginners welcome.

A private Cornish wild-water adventure, designed for winter but available throughout the year.

October availability

Private coaching has filled up rather more quickly than I expected over the last couple of weeks, so I now only have limited availability remaining in October.
I still have some weekday dates available for one-to-one or two-person training, whether you're completely new to freediving or already diving and want to work on something specific.

I deliberately only take a small number of private clients now, so the day can be built entirely around the people I'm actually working with.

One day private coaching — £450
Two-day private programme — £800

If you've been thinking about coming down in October, drop me a message and I'll let you know what's still free.

Because frankly.... November is too chilly!

It’s about the journey.

Freediving isn’t really about chasing numbers. The best progress often comes from slowing things down, understanding what’s actually limiting you, and having the time to work on it properly.

That’s why I’ve moved FreediveUK towards private coaching.

One person. One instructor. No group timetable and no need to move on because everyone else is ready.
Whether you’re learning to freedive, struggling with equalisation, trying to become more relaxed at depth, returning after time away, or simply want to become a better diver, we build the day around you.

Private freediving training in Cornwall from £450 per day.
Two-day private programme £800.
Equipment included.

Fewer people. More time. Better diving.

FreediveUK has been teaching freediving for a long time. When I started, there were only about five freediving instructors teaching in the entire country, including me. It was a tiny sport. And I mean genuinely tiny.
