Testimonials

Free diving with Drift has been so much fun. I feel blessed to have completed the level-I course at this stage in my life. The first time I saw the 20 meter-target at the end of the line, I said "S..". I cannot deny it; afraid of failure and blackout at worst. I stayed positive; by not letting fear overtake me. My confidence was restored after the completion of the warm up drills with the rope at 5 meter marks. The course exceeded my expectations. Safety and rescue were hugely important for me. I love the way the instructor Oliver articulates and shows the techniques in the water. Peace of mind and go-for-it attitude supported knowing that the instructor had my back. The instructor Oliver posses many of the qualities of a great sport coach: positive, enthusiastic, supportive, trusting, focused, goal-oriented, knowledgeable, observant, respectful, patient and a clear communicator. I can't wait to go at it again to practice safety and technique learned in the course. Looking forward to keep in touch with the instructor, staff and students of Drift Freediving.

I have nothing but great things to say about Oliver. He is extremely patient with his students, intelligent on the subject matter, and he practices what he teaches. He was able to break down complex physiology in a simple and easy to digest manner. Also, he was well conditioned to be able to dive with all of his students, even on our deepest attempts. His feedback was invaluable on our technique; he spent appropriate time with his students to correct areas that needed improvement. He took the time to record our dives, analyze our strengths and deficits, and explain how to improve. I highly recommend taking your level 2 course with Oliver!

Virgil was a great instructor, showing patience with the different challenges each student brought to him, encouraging to push ourselves inside our limits, respecting our comfort zones. His calmness and positivity was contagious.

Excellent course! Excellent instructor! Excellent workbook! Excellent pool and ocean dive sessions! Plus, I made it to 66 ft and I had fun doing it! I highly recommend this course to anyone who want a professional course that covers technique, safety and equipment taught by an instructor who clearly loves freediving and sharing it with his students! Well done!
