private freediving coaching and training
now I am become renegade
I wanted to be independent and free, not just underwater but also outside of it.
I wanted to be in a position where I could share my passion for freediving with others at the highest extent of my teaching abilities without having to answer to an authority that would make me compromise on my pedagogy by imposing its business model.
I wanted to leave a different kind of legacy for my freediving students than just some certification card with no intrinsic value.
I wanted to show that just like clothes do not make the man, unnecessary and fancy freediving equipment does not make the freediver.
In embracing this journey toward independence and authenticity, I have found a profound sense of fulfillment. Breaking free from the constraints of traditional systems, I can now share the art of freediving on my own terms, unencumbered by external influences that might dilute the essence of my teachings.
This Is The Way
Renegade Freediving is an approach born out of a passion for genuine knowledge and skill development in freediving, focusing on personalized adaptive training with minimal gear.
Here, we acknowledge the truth that other freediving instructors and organizations often conceal in their standard freediving courses.
That every person’s breath cannot be quantified and applying the same performance requirements to everyone to pass a course is both unfair and counterproductive to achieving total relaxation in freediving.
That the aim of these courses is not to help you become the best version of yourself as a freediver but instead to turn you into a certified recreational freediver to sell you the next certification course.
That neither owning a certification card nor fancy freediving equipment is a reflection of a freediver’s true capabilities.
That many freedivers and freediving instructors engage in forbidden practices like hyperventilation, packing, or freediving alone but hypocritically deny it when teaching courses.
Training in Renegade Freediving is about creating an authentic connection and respect between the breath and the water.
the dojo
I share the belief that freediving trains freediving and that the water is the ultimate teacher. Unlike standard freediving courses, training in Renegade Freediving prioritizes practical sessions, giving you not only more time in the water to help you developed more polished freediving skills but also at a cheaper cost than what you would pay for completing both level 1 and 2 freediving courses with a certifying organization.
This approach fosters an adaptive and intuitive learning experience, incorporating real-life applications to enhance your understanding and mastery of freediving techniques.
Your training begins with you telling me what your aim is in wanting to improve your freediving knowledge and skills, and we’ll work together to help you achieve those goals in the safest and most efficient way possible.
