Testimonials
What Our Past Students Say
Freediving with Diego from Breathflow connecting was an amazing experience: from the expert tuition to the beauty of the Thai gulf. As a complete beginner, Diego supported me with patience, knowledge, passion, and kindness to get me to new depths. I've gained a skill and memories that will last a lifetime.
Diego runs an incredible Free Diving course. I would recommend his free diving instruction or breathing classes to absolutely anyone. During our entry level free diving class we were lucky enough to have two instructors for just three students. The second instructor Ilias was quite skilled and did an amazing job of coaching me through my equalization challenges. I’m level one certified now and I can wait to return to these guys for advanced! Thank you!!
We just finished the freediving level 1 course with Diego. It was a truly mesmerising experience, Diego did a great job at showing us the basics on land and practice in the ocean. He created a really safe environment for us to experience freediving. We’re more than happy to have reached 12m & 20m within only two days without prior experience. Lastly, to add a cherry on top we saw a whale shark and a marlin during our dives ! Thank you, Diego, keep up the good work 🙂
With Diego as freediving trainer, I had an incredible experience of two days training. I never would have thought I could go so deep— and it was good, both physically and mentally. With patience, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the discipline, Diego guided me step by step, helping me to overcome my fears and to build a real confidence underwater. Thank you Diego!
