Aloha
Whether you're holding your breath for the first time or training to become an instructor, every course is hands-on, small-group, and built around the warm waters off Oahu. AIDA-certified, photographer-led, and rooted in the ocean we share.
Freedive Courses
A one-day introduction to freediving for the curious first-timer. Theory, breath-hold basics, and your first dives in the open ocean.
The complete beginner program. Learn the fundamentals, then progress to your first AIDA 2 certification dives down to 20 meters.
Take your training deeper. Free immersion, free fall, and dives to 30 meters / 100 feet. For certified AIDA 2 freedivers ready to advance.
Your Instructor
I'm an AIDA Instructor Trainer and have been teaching since January 2022. I've taught over 1,000 students and love sharing my passion for freediving with others.
As an instructor, my main goal is to make sure my students not only learn the skills needed to dive safely, but also develop a real appreciation for the underwater world. I believe freediving is not just a sport, but a way of life that teaches us to be present, mindful, and respectful of the ocean and everything in it.
I've spent four years from 2022 to 2025 as the CMAS World Championship photographer, witnessing the highest level of freediving firsthand. That experience allows me to bring real insight from elite athletes into my teaching.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced diver, I'm committed to helping you reach your full potential and achieve your goals in this sport.
