Selma Aradóttir

Freediving with Diego was an incredible experience. Prior to participating I was very anxious about what the course would entail and I was scared about diving while holding my breath, but by the end of the 2 days I found myself sad that this experience came to an end. Diego helped me relax and taught me important breathing techniques to use both in and out of the water. I surprised myself on the second day where I was able to go down to 13 meters!I highly recommend freediving its an amazing sport and I had a lot of fun. 🤩😊

Edward Capaldi

Apnea is all things exciting, peaceful, scary. More often than not, for the novice all three hit you simultaneously! So having an awesome guide in your training and adventure is crucial. Diego was the right choice making us feel comfortable by coming across as a non intrusive guru, someone deeply into his craft. His passion for all things breathing and all things customer delight are top notch. I realised this whilst in the water and hearing and watching a couple of other Instructors I thought 'thank the gods for connecting us with him not them" now I can't wait to go freediving, with io course a buddy 'safety first right Diego!'

Nevil Trotter

Learning and practicing freediving with Diego of Breathflow Connection has been amazing I’ve wanted to freedive for a while and with a family holiday in Koh Samui, it felt like the time! Found Diego through a dive school recommendation; exchanged some messages on Facebook and WhatsApp from the UK and my daughter (17) and I were booked onto the two day freediving course. We did classroom theory and practice, explored the physiology, psychology and techniques.   Learning to free dive is great, learning with Diego puts the bells and whistles on it. Hence my review Diego of Breathflow Connection, Amazing

    Sure, but it's important to practice freediving responsibly with proper training, equipment, and safety protocols. However, just like any adventure sport, there are some risks involved, especially when pushing the limits of breath-holding and diving to significant depths. Accidents could potentially occur due to shallow water blackout, lung barotrauma, hypoxia, or other factors if divers are not adequately prepared or if safety guidelines are not followed. Professional instruction, gradual progression, and diving with a trained buddy are important for minimizing risks and ensuring a safe freediving experience.
