Static apnea means holding your breath while staying still. Your body may be floating in complete stillness, but your mind can be wandering all over the place.Often there is that voice inside you saying: “You can’t do this, come up, breathe!“.

Then, there is another voice here at Freedive Tioman, sharing the journey with you. The voice reminding you to relax, and telling you that there is still more of the journey ahead.

Meet our 2026 instructor team: Bo, Shan, Howie, Marine and of course our co-founders Stella and Kat.

We’re so proud to have this experienced, and passionate group of instructors join us again for the 2026 season!

Together, they bring decades of freediving teaching knowledge to the buoy- and even competition experience as Malaysian National Record holders!

But more importantly, everyone is teaching with patience, care and kindness - and only in small groups.

We hope you’ll all have an amazing time diving with us this year, see you soon on Tioman!

From jungle bathing to diving into the ocean. Our school is perfectly snuggled in between jungle and sea under a big canopy of trees.

We love creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere to set the tone for our dives.

But no matter what life had in store for you that day: always start your session with easy, pleasurable warm up dives to transition body and mind from land to sea.

We get many questions about passing or failing certain requirements in a beginner course, especially for depth.

Mostly those are there to ensure freedivers have a solid base for becoming competent buddies one day.

In truth, there is no real pass or fail, you will get a certification fit for your level that allows you to keep training.

While we of course understand the satisfaction of ticking all boxes (we have been there ourselves)- what it really is about is progress. And everyone starts at a different place: some are avid swimmers and snorkellers, some have not yet spent much time in the ocean.

Seeing someone progress from the first awkward duck dives or being a little afraid of the deep, to exceeding their own expectations and sitting on the ocean floor comfortably, is what we love to see and celebrate!

Instructors don’t just dive down and up to keep you safe and ask you how the dive felt.
We see ourselves more like underwater spies trying to decode every few meters of your dive.
We look out for body position, free fall, equalization, technique, emotional strain, comfort, dive time, contractions, etc.
Every little detail matters, and while we may not be able to fix everything in one day, we will troubleshoot every session with you.
Good dives do not just come with pure willpower. Achievements come from piecing all components together until the ex*****on becomes smooth and easy.
We are so proud of you, Orsi, for your tenacity and patience.
Thank you for your trust.
