What Our Participants Say
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!
프리다이빙 여행으로 저의 첫 코사무이 다이빙입니다! 폭포도 가고싶다 했더니 데려가 주셨어요 ㅎㅎ 강사님 너무 친절하시고 다정하셔서 편했어요! 다음에도 또 이용하려구요 ㅎㅎ
Just had a couple of great days with Diego and Jan on the Freediving course. Diego came over to our hotel the day before the 2 day course to meet us and go through the theory and equipment for a couple of hours and brief us up on what to expect over the next two days. They picked us up and took us to the port and back each day which makes things easy and allows for more questions and answers. All wet work was done in the sea, for us that was via speed boat to Sail Rock, Koh Tao. First day we did free immersion and constant weight with fins to a max of 12 meters, practicing breath up and recovery breathing, and equalisation /technique, and then a fun swim and dives around the rock. 2nd day, was a repeat but down to 20m and also emphasis on rescues from 10m - oh and interrupted once by a whale shark! Super fun and very pleased. Thank you Diego and Jan. We loved it.
Diego was an excellent instructor for our freediving course. I really appreciated that he made sure divers of all abilities felt comfortable and confident. His clear instruction and patience helped everyone progress at their own pace. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to get into freediving!
I signed up to learn Freediving, because I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone, and feel more confident and comfortable in the water. It’s rare to gain a valuable life skill while on vacation. Diego and the people at Breathflow offer such an opportunity. It started the day before with a quick one hour primer on what to expect and how to breath properly. The next day - I was able to go out onto the boat with confidence for my first dive. It exceeded all expectations. Despite my own limitations, (I sometimes have ear pain) diego was able to tailer my experience to my abilities. He got me to challenge myself while still feeling in control. Diego was an incredible teacher. Even though I just completed the course last week I already used the deep breathing techniques - to calm myself before going bungee jumping for the first time! I’m sure these new skills will continue to come in handy throughout my life. My advice - Don’t miss this experience.
I did the Breathwork & Ice Bath Workshop as well as the 2-day Freediving course with Diego and I am extremely enthusiastic about both and would recommend trying both! 🤩 You won't regret it. The Breathwork workshop was very intense and made me feel deep inside myself. I don't know what exactly happened there, but it was very healing. The ice bath rounded off the workshop perfectly. It was well worth the effort! Afterwards I felt very awake and energized! 🤸🏻♀️ The freediving course with Diego was - without exaggerating - one of the best decisions of my life. I discovered a new old passion and am incredibly grateful for it! 🙏🏻 Diego's personality, his way of teaching and his attitude towards and passion for the sport played a big part. He is authentic and easy-going, but he also knows what is important and places great emphasis on safety. I felt safe every second. The group size is perfect and he motivates and supports each of his students with their individual problems. I couldn't have wished for a better instructor and a more beautiful location for my first freediving course. 💙 It was perfect and I will remember these fantastic, eventful 2 days for a very long time! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Diego. Thanks to this course I discovered my passion for diving. See you soon at a depth of 30 meters! 😉🧜🏻♀️ And of course many thanks to the wonderful Jun for the great photos and videos! I will miss diving with you guys. It was an honor. 🫶🏻
I did both the breathwork/ice bath workshop and a day of freediving with Diego and would absolutely recommend them both. He is clearly very experienced and passionate about both freediving and group energywork facilitation and provided my friend and I with very memorable experiences. Thank you 🙏
Very recommended experience for everyone! 🤩 My husband and I took the free diving course with the amazing Diego and we enjoyed it so much. The course was far beyond theoretical knowledge and work on technical performance, it teaches you a lot about yourself, your own limits, your abilities, and the power to be present in the moment. A huge thank you to Diego! For his patience, his faith in his students, his infectious passion for freediving, and the fun and enjoyment during the course. It was definitely an unforgettable experience! And of course, thanks to the beautiful Jun for the photos, the care, and the good atmosphere ❤️
