Best instructor I could have asked for in pursuing my first free diving course! He walked me through the whole process and even helped me exceed my breath hold limit, which I am extremely grateful for because his methods help me in the dives I go on to this day. I highly recommend taking your first or next free diving course with Mitch, I know I will when I'm ready to level up! Thank you again Mitch for helping me join the free diving community!!

I had the best time in Mitch's class! I was able to get past my struggles with equalisation through his guidance and instruction. Couldn't recommend him more!
