Freediving is an amazing sport that gives you the
opportunity to learn how to swim underwater whilst breath holding safely.
Whilst it may appear that there is little to 'learn', all students
without exception are amazed at the science behind it and glad that they
came on a course. I teach students who are complete beginners, through to
those who want to be instructors themselves.
My students range from children through to people in
their 70s, from those who have never ventured deeper than their local
swimming pool to scuba divers, spear fishers and advanced freedivers. I
teach deep tank courses at the stunning SETT tank, open water
courses in the idyllic setting of Vobster
Quay in Somerset,
and also abroad. I have also co-authored the DeeperBlue.net Freediving
Manual, written AIDA International courses as well as many of our
speciality courses, and all extra material for every course I teach. On
every course you are guaranteed the highest standards of tuition with the
most complete and comprehensive freediving package available anywhere in
the world.
Have a read about some of the courses to find the one
that will suit you. We run courses for freedivers, scuba divers and
people who like to live on land! You can find our more about all our
courses and book here!

Gas
Guzzler Course

Are you a scuba diver? Tired of using more air than your buddies? Want to
stay down longer? Then this course is for you! Taking place in a
classroom, this course is an incredibly successful way to learn how to
reduce air consumption. With some theory and mainly practical exercises,
you’ll be taken through the mechanics of breathing, working with
each individual to learn how to slow and calm your breath and work to

Reflexology
and Diving Course
3 hours
Have you ever been interested in helping sinus congestion without using
decongestant drugs? Reflexology is an ancient healing system that uses
points on the feet, hands and head to stimulate the body's own healing
mechanisms and promote the removal of toxins and tension from the body.
As a fully qualified reflexologist, I teach an evening course aimed at
freedivers and scuba divers. With diagrams and charts which you can take
away with you, you will learn how to find and activate the points on your
feet which can help clear your head! The course is hands on so you will
both give and receive reflexology. As well as this, you will also learn
head massage designed to help clear the sinuses. The course is suitable
for all and taught on request. If you have a group of 8 or more people
then please contact me
for more information.
