Mitch Brown Photo Freediving Instruction

I took the AIDA 1, 2 and 3 courses with Mitch in the span of two weekends. I have been freediving my whole life and his courses were impeccable. His calmness and ability to teach is incredible, he is patient and willing to work with you as much as you need to reach your goals. I learned so much from his courses and was able to very comfortably push myself knowing that he was always watching me carefully with my safety at his forefront. I spent about three months researching courses with different instructors and schools and if I had to do it again a million times I would choose Mitch every time. If you go into his course with the willingness to learn you will achieve incredible things with Mitch. I plan to take my AIDA 4 and instructor course with him as well and I am very very excited to do so this summer!!

I don't know how to express how great of a time I had with Mitch and through his class. Trusting yourself to go down on one breath is definitely not a feeling I've ever experienced before, let alone getting used to contractions and holding your breath past that. It was honestly terrifying at first for me at least. But Mitch is so attentive, clearly knows what he is doing, is always professional and safe, so I was able to relax past that and walk away proud of myself for the progress I made in such a short time. I know it sounds corny, but this course really did set me on a better path, gave me more peace and confidence both in and out of the water, and helped me feel safer doing something I truly love. This is all thanks to Mitch and I can wholeheartedly recommend that anyone even remotely interested should sign up!

Mitch is awesome, let's start with that. I'm always afraid that someone who is an expert at their discipline will come off a little arrogant or high and mighty, but Mitch was genuine and down to earth. He was always attentive and sharing his expertise and experiences when needed. As someone who teaches from time to time it's always a pleasure to find someone like Mitch who has truly mastered his craft and who also has the ability to effectively pass his experience to someone with a lower skill set. The objectives of the course were laid out clearly and we never dwelled on anything for an excessive amount of time. I felt very safe during all of our in water lessons and exercises, even when I was pushing my body beyond comfortable perceived limits. I held my breath for longer than I would have ever imagined not 2 hours into this course with zero previous practice. I will not hesitate to recommend Mitch to friends and family, and he will be my first choice for further training. 12/10 stars.
