I really enjoyed the course. Everything was perfect 👌 It is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had ❤️ Thank you very much to your team, and especially to Maria. Maria is an amazing person. I’m so glad to have met her and all of you. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! We'll pass this along to Maria - she'll be glad to hear the course made it an unforgettable trip. Hope to see you again soon.
Wonderful experience! We did Wave 1 course with Sabli who is a fantastic instructor. Everything was super clear, gear was good quality and course was very well organised. Comparing to other Freediving courses this one is superior! Strongly recommend!
Thank you for the review! Sabli will be really glad to hear the Wave 1 course compared so well to other freediving courses you've done. Hope to see you back for more.
A great experience! All the staff at the school are really nice, and our teacher Artem was awesome. He took so good care of each one of us in the course, was considarate yet pushing to the right direction to challenge me. Myself I had almost no diving or open water experience before the course (just a swimming hobbyist), it was challenging but with this environment I fully recommend to anyone who’s bern wanting to try freediving. Now I want more, although I’m still such a beginner. All communication with the school before the course, plus good options to pay the fee were excellent. ps. there is homework to do before the course, be sure to be ready, theory is an important part of freediving.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us, especially as a beginner coming from a swimming background. Artem will be so happy to hear your kind words — he truly cares about guiding each student with care and encouragement, helping everyone find their own pace and push their limits safely. It’s fantastic that you found the balance of challenge and support motivating! We also appreciate you highlighting the importance of theory and preparation — it really does make a big difference in freediving success and safety. Thank you for recommending our school, and we can’t wait to welcome you back as you continue your freediving journey! 🌊✨
It was so cool to free-dive! First I was afraid of being in the water without breathing but got used to it gradually. Roberto was my instructor and he was very supportive and super nice! Will continue practicing in Korea. Awesome experience!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so happy to hear that you overcame your initial fear and enjoyed freediving — that’s such a big achievement. Roberto will be thrilled to know he made you feel supported and comfortable throughout the course. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re excited to hear you’ll continue practicing in Korea. Wishing you many more amazing dives ahead! 🌊✨
Everything was great! I made so much progress in just 3 days. The staff, instructors are very nice, everything in superlative. I highly recommend this Freedive School!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you made such great progress in just three days and felt supported by our team. It means a lot that you'd recommend our freedive school! We hope to see you back in the water soon! 🌊
My partner and I did the Wave 1 course with Seva, and we had a fantastic experience. Seva is an incredible teacher, very knowledgeable, patient, kind, and funny. I felt safe and looked after. The course was well organised, and it was great communication before and during. The pre-course material was excellent and easy to understand, I recommend studying the materials provided before the course starts. The theory sessions were very informative. Seva found a good mixture between passing knowledge and making it entertaining. The practice sessions (2 times pool and three times open water) were enjoyable and challenging. Seva did exercises with us on relaxation and breathing gymnastics. I feel like we have gotten a good first level of understanding on how to freedive. I have got nothing to compare this with but I'd go back to Seva for more education on freediving.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're truly happy to hear that you had a great experience during your freediving course. It means a lot to know that the course met your expectations and left you with unforgettable memories in the water. We're especially glad to hear that Seva made such a positive impact on your journey. He's incredibly passionate about helping students feel confident and safe while discovering the beauty of the underwater world. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments — it’ll definitely make the day! Keep exploring, stay curious, and we hope to see you back in the water again soon!
The best people I could ever learn freediving from! Did Wave 1 with them in August and joined for the Komodo trip in October. Both times were amazing, my instructor Hamza, was super patient and extremely kind. He gave me confidence to go deep into the ocean all by myself. Kirill and the rest of the team, hats off to them for creating a safe, welcoming and exciting environment for any level of freedivers! Will be joining again for more adventures 🤙🏽🌀💙
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that both your Wave 1 course and the Komodo trip were such memorable experiences. Hamza will be so happy to know that his patience and support helped you gain the confidence to explore the ocean on your own. We’re also grateful for your kind words about Kirill and the entire team. Creating a safe, welcoming, and exciting environment for freedivers of all levels is something we strive for, and we’re so glad it made a difference for you. We can’t wait to have you back for more adventures – see you next time! 💙
It was an unforgettable experience! I really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it to everyone, thank you very much🙂🙂🙂

I just finished my Wave 1 and Wave 2 courses at Freedive Nusa, and it was amazing. The tropical setting in Nusa Penida is perfect for diving. All the team were professional, encouraging and caring, making me feel supported from day one. Gaston, my instructor, was superb— He really helped me build confidence and improve my skills. The clear blue waters made every dive incredible. If you want to learn freediving in a beautiful place, I cannot recommend this here enough!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback on your Wave 1 and Wave 2 courses with us. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the tropical diving experience and felt supported by our team, especially Gaston. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to hosting more freedivers in beautiful Nusa Penida. Best regards, The Freedive Nusa Team
Gas and Chiara were incredible instructors! Their teaching style is fun and relaxed. The theory was well presented so the key points were easy to remember. The support, encouragement and feedback I received in the water helped me improve my Freedives. The facilities and equipment were also at a high standard. Could not recommend the instructors and diving course enough!!
Your being here on course also was incredible! Thanks for all amazing job you did during the course. Hope to free dive with you again!
