Great experience, zero complaints! - My wife and I went there to get our Molchanov Wave 1 Certification and we had an overall very pleasant experience. We rented one of the school‘s bungalows for the time of our course, which was a bahay kubo (bamboo hut) with fan, electricity, and Wi-Fi. We also rented a scooter for our entire stay for 500 php per day from them - a reasonable price for a short term rental in the Philippines! The school provided sound advise on which type of certification would be fitting for us and which institution we should get certified at (Molchanov, Aida, SSI). They also offered a fun dive with fotos and videos after the course was done (included in the price). Our instructor, Ramar, was a very good teacher! He took his time for each student (we were three in total) and gave super helpful feedback after each skill we performed. His friendly character and relaxed demeanor made the lessons fun and you didn’t feel the pressure of performing flawlessly. Nevertheless, he knew when to point out things to improve and really help every student achieve the goals. As we found out later (by stalking his insta), he is also a multiple national champion, which is just so impressive!!! We had the fun dive after our course with Wen, another instructor, who took care of our safety, and Dio who took fotos and videos of us. We were able to get amazing shots of ourselves and the under water world! Just amazing!!! We also made friends with three interns of the diving academy who lived in the huts next to us. Shoutout to Ivan, Zack, and Jesse who were training to become instructors. We frequently went out with them and other students and instructors/employees of the academy to have dinner (shoutout to vegan shack, K&L Canteen, and so many other places)! All in all, I only have good things to say about the place, the school, and our experience. We already know we’ll be back in about 1,5 months to continue our free diving journey. Truly addictive!!!

Best place to learn freediving! - Me and my partner have done plenty scuba and casual snorkling dives before so I was a bit skeptical about taking the course thinking I already know everything. Boy was I wrong! Vincent, founder of the academy, has a true passion for freediving and teaching people how to do it. Every step of the course feels professionally crafted and you never feel lost because any question you might have will have an in-depth answer. We first learned the basics in the swimming pool but on the same day we were already freediving in the BEAUTIFUL waters of Panglao - fun! When we were in the water we felt very safe and looked after, Vincent always had the right tips about how to perfect our dives and technique. Overall I highly recommend Freedive Academy - it's full of friendly, professional people who are experts at their craft!

Amazing experience!!! - This was the first time for me to try freediving and it was a fantastic experience! Everyone in the centre is so friendly and approachable, you feel like home there 🤗🤗
