Highly recommended for freediving and spearfishing

I’ve been wanting to Freedive and spearfishing for a long time, and finally got the chance in Tamarindo with Freedive Costa Rica. I had such an incredible experience. My instructor Aaron was a wealth of knowledge and went above and beyond to help me on my way to get my AIDA 2 certificate and spear my first fish, all in a week’s time.

Thank you Haldan!

Great guides and experience

I did the afternoon tour and it was an incredible experience. The guides were very helpful to explain everything before we started diving and the water had so much sea life. You can hear the whales and dolphin as a you dive

Very thankful for the experience and service

Thank you, Freedive Costa Rica. I am very grateful for the opportunity to take this course. Aaron is an excellent instructor, very friendly and professional. He was always attentive in theory and practice, offering great safety during the practical exercises. The equipment was generally excellent, of very high quality. The boat captain was always punctual and kept the boat in excellent condition. Thank you, Gauthier, for the opportunity, the follow-up, and the excellent service. Very satisfied with the experience.

Amazing learning experience

I'd been interested in trying out freediving and decided to give it a try. The experience was amazing and definitely left me wanting to freedive again. Gauthier was a really good teacher and with his instruction, I was really able to push my limits and improve my freediving in just two days. Would recommend to anyone who's even a bit interested.

Thanks Joona!

Best trip ever

My husband and I did a 3 day experience. Day 1. Discover FreeDiving Day2. Discover SpearFishing Day 3. Blue Water tuna spearfishing It was absolutely Incredible !! Hands down the best part of our trip! Gauthier is a beast. He is so skilled in diving and made us feel so comfortable throughout all the classes. The freediving class was straight to the point and by the end the of it my husband was able to dive 15 meters comfortably. Aaron is who led our spearfishing class the next day and he is also super down to earth. We loved him. In that class we were able to Spear fish some pompano by the Catalina islands. The third day was the blue water all day trip! And that was amazing! We followed spinner dolphins to find the tuna. They kept us on the fish all day. It pushed my husband to being able to dive down to 20 Meters which for a beginner felt like such an accomplishment. We are hooked. Very thankful for this crew and what they are doing. We got to eat fresh raw tuna right on the boat, the captains Manuel and Kevin were also amazing! We swam with the dolphins. Overall just an awesome time! Definitely want to go back!

Thanks Sierra!
