My 12-year-old daughter completed a freediving course with this team over the weekend, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The instructors were professional, patient, and clearly very experienced working with young beginners. Her teacher, Pasha, deserves a special mention — brilliant with her throughout, encouraging and reassuring, which made a huge difference to her confidence in the water. We're already looking at what's is next for her.

Simply outstanding

Took a returning session with Tim at Go Freediving. Fantastic experience, attentive throughout, really helped me improve and grow in confidence.

The communication with the team beforehand is extra clear and too, so I arrived completely prepared and stress free.

I'd say there is a reason there are so many positive reviews here. Friendly, knowledgeable and (exceptionally) safe.

Would recommend to anybody. Such a great day.

We had an incredible weekend with Gofreediving..

We had an incredible weekend learning to free dive with Gofreediving. All of the instructors are super knowledgeable & professional as well as being extremely personable, it made for a great weekend!

Great attention to detail regarding the course information & Saftey procedure, I really felt that I was in safe hands and had the knowledge I needed to practice safe freediving.

The dive gear that comes as part of the course I found to be top quality & there are great purchase options Incase you’d like to buy your own.

A fantastic weekend, will definitely be returning & would highly reccomend!

Great Fun with incredibly Knowledgeable and supportive Instructors

Last weekend I took my freediving foundation course with Go Freediving. I had so much fun! All the instructors made it their absolute mission to make sure we had a great time learning. I knew I was in great hands and extremely safe which enabled me to explore this amazing sport. I am naturally a really anxious person, and was very nervous going into it, but my worries were quickly alleviated by the incredibly supportive and patient team. I feel like I learnt so much, met an incredible group of people and found a very addictive hobby! I can't wait to get back in the water with the Go Free Dive team again. I would recommend them to anyone!

Exceptional Instructors and Excellent Training

I recently completed the Freediving Foundation Course with GO Freediving, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to freediving. A huge thank you to the incredible instructors John, Tom, Richard, Jacky, and Emma. Their knowledge, professionalism, patience, and encouragement made all the difference throughout the course.

They created a relaxed and supportive learning environment where there was never any pressure to rush. Everyone was given the time and guidance they needed to build confidence and develop their skills at a comfortable pace. Most importantly, safety was never compromised and remained the highest priority at every stage.

Thank you all for making this such an enjoyable, rewarding, and memorable experience. I genuinely appreciate the time, effort, and passion you put into teaching, and I would highly recommend GO Freediving to anyone looking to learn freediving in a safe, friendly, and professional environment.

Cannot recommend Go Freediving enough…

I cannot recommend Go Freediving enough - it was absolutely fantastic! The instructors were so calm & knowledgable guiding us through the course & we all had a fabulous time learning & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I am now looking for ways to continue this experience.

If you are thinking about booking this or giving as a present to someone, I can absolutely guarantee they will not be disappointed, it’s utterly incredible. Do it!

Freediving in Belize

We did a 7 day freediving workshop in Belize. The instructor is very patient, kind and provides hands-on work with her students. She will teach you how to duck-dive, give you confidence, and make sure you work with your buddy. Great experience!!

Excellent class & instructor

Emma is an excellent instructor. Her classroom lessons are well thought out and easy to understand. The open water exercises helped put it all together. I would absolutely take another class with her.

I attended the freediving masterclass with Emma and Tom. They were both brilliant and Emma was so attentive and gave really useful feedback throughout. Emma was brilliant at breaking things down in an understandable way and overall just approached teaching in a really nurturing way! Thanks so much!!

A great course!

Emma and John were fabulous teachers and couldn’t have been more encouraging or helpful and really instil you with confidence. Plus everyone is able to progress at their own pace. I was nervous but it was a lovely mix of people of all ages.
The course is very well designed and the equipment and organisation first class. Communication was excellent (thank you Victoria). I couldn’t recommend the course more highly.

Our team works hard to ensure everyone learns according to their individual wants and needs, rather than blanket teaching a whole group.

Emma and John were amazing instructors…

Emma and John were amazing instructors - so knowledgeable, very aware of what is going on with each student. The course was well paced for all levels. Top quality kit and beautiful surroundings. I would recommend this to anyone. All kinds of people take the course - you don’t have to be particularly athletic, experienced at breath holding etc, just willing to try and follow the instructions!

Amazing team, highly recommend

Emma and John were fantastic instructors.
The entire course is friendly and informative,
Everything from kit to preparation and instruction was great.
I highly recommend for anyone even remotely interested in freediving. They are "the" team to go with.

Hi Henry,

Thank you for your amazing review! And glad you found the entire process from booking to diving great!

Hope to see you in the water again, very soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic courses highly recommend!

I can’t really contain in a single review the wonder that was this weekend with @go_freediving . I booked this at the beginning of the summer as a part of a promise to myself to do some of the things I have always wanted to do.

Emma and her team are the loveliest bunch of people you could hope to meet! The teaching both online and in person is thorough and sufficiently repetitive for even my rather slow learning brain. But it stayed interesting and enjoyable. The amazing weather at vobster quay helped too!

So am I an amazing Freediver suddenly after one weekend? No i am not. In fact i had some issues with equalisation that may take some time to resolve. But I will be back. Even at the depth I was able to tolerate (max 8m) I saw some really beautiful things. Shafts of sunlight through water, forests of bubbles from scuba divers below and best of all, my buddies buddying each other from 10m and the grace and intimacy of an eye to eye ascent as sunshine sliced though the water. I’ll never forget it.

We had a great rapport and a very fun instructor our time in the water passed in the blink of an eye. I’m going back very soon, and I can’t wait!

Try something new! Freediving with Go Freediving, you might surprise yourself!

Just completed a weekend course with GO freediving at Vobster Quay - what fun! Emma and her team are highly professional and I felt in completely safe hands throughout. I really went along to accompany my son who has wanted to learn to freedive for ages and I wanted to be sure that he was taught in a safe environment. I needn't have worried as safety is the no 1 priority and noone is pushed beyond where they feel comfortable going. The groups are kept small (3-4 people) and this facilatates learning at a pace that suits each individual. Our instructor (John) was so encouraging and I had complete trust in him. I needed to repeat basic skills to embed them whereas my son grasped some things more quickly and was able to progress at a pace that suited him, moving onto more challenging scenarios. We were taught skills that could be useful in other situations, such as tired diver pushes, unconscious diver tow, how to deal with cramp, etc along with of course the breath holding and swimming with fins to various depths. I was very happy with getting to 8m on the second day - definitely surpassing what I thought I was capable of. I may well return for a refresher in the future and in the meantime I will be practicising those elusive (for me!) duck dives!

You were a fabulous student and I'm so pleased to hear you recognise the efforts we go to to ensure safety is our top priority - along with meeting the students needs as individuals, rather than a group.

I hope to see you all again, very soon!

Amazing

Amazing, professional, friendly and supportive. Emma and her team are simply the best at what they do. I have never enjoyed a course so much and Emma was an absolute inspiration to my 14 year old daughter. I cannot recommend more highly.

Learn with an expert

This is my second year training with Emma Farrell at Go Freediving and I really recommend Emma whether you are new to freediving or an experienced diver. Having coached sports myself in the past, I know there is a big difference between being taught by someone who has learned how to teach versus being taught by an expert in their field. Emma is an expert and uses her expertise to spot subtle as well as more obvious changes needed for your technique. I come away from each session knowing that my technique has been analysed in detail and having benefitted from clear instructions to make adjustments. What I also like is that Emma is a born teacher and great fun. Along with her technical knowledge this makes for a perfect teaching combination!
