Sophie was amazing for the Freediving

Sophie was amazing for the Freediving AIDA Level 1. She was so relaxed and encouraging, making sure we were both feeling good and relaxed to get the most out of experience!

Absolutely amazing experience with Sophie.

Absolutely amazing experience with Sophie. She was extremely patient and taught me so much and breath work and using our lungs to the full capacity. She was also extremely supportive and kind, checking in with us frequently after our dives to make sure we were okay. Highly recommend this to anyone!

The experience Sophie offered me broadened my horizons. The way she was teaching the skills was outstanding. Her knowledge is fantastic, I felt absolutely safe and I completely understood her fascination for freediving. Nevertheless Sophie is a warmhearted person, very empathetic and it's a great pleasure to spend time with her. Because of her I understood that freediving is much more than diving into water. It's diving into yourself. You won't find someone better than her to experience the beauty of apnea. I can't wait to come back for the next adventure.

I had such a great experience

I had such a great experience with Freediving Seychelles, I really recommend it to any buddy interested in discovering new things. Although I have been fun-freediving on my own ever since The Big Blue, taking part to the AIDA 2 and then a few sessions has been a total paradigm shift, the discovery of a totally different way to freedive. It is a measurable way to push your limits further and further, meter after meter, and the instructors give a safe place to do it. I would like to start training a bit at the pool at Roche Caiman, like weekly, so if anyone is looking for a buddy to do exactly that, contact me.
