October availability

Private coaching has filled up rather more quickly than I expected over the last couple of weeks, so I now only have limited availability remaining in October.
I still have some weekday dates available for one-to-one or two-person training, whether you're completely new to freediving or already diving and want to work on something specific.

I deliberately only take a small number of private clients now, so the day can be built entirely around the people I'm actually working with.

One day private coaching — £450
Two-day private programme — £800

If you've been thinking about coming down in October, drop me a message and I'll let you know what's still free.

Because frankly.... November is too chilly!

It’s about the journey.

Freediving isn’t really about chasing numbers. The best progress often comes from slowing things down, understanding what’s actually limiting you, and having the time to work on it properly.

That’s why I’ve moved FreediveUK towards private coaching.

One person. One instructor. No group timetable and no need to move on because everyone else is ready.
Whether you’re learning to freedive, struggling with equalisation, trying to become more relaxed at depth, returning after time away, or simply want to become a better diver, we build the day around you.

Private freediving training in Cornwall from £450 per day.
Two-day private programme £800.
Equipment included.

Fewer people. More time. Better diving.

FreediveUK has been teaching freediving for a long time. When I started, there were only about five freediving instructors teaching in the entire country, including me. It was a tiny sport. And I mean genuinely tiny.

I've been away for a few months but I'll be back in September and I've opened up some private training days. If you are keen to progress without the distraction of other students, follow the link in the comments and book your sessions.

Mrs FreediveUK (Emily Donald) as many if you know is a mural artist. She has done this lovely 'Bloody Gulls' mural on Sailors in Newquay as part of a murals project. If she wins a public vote she gets a grand! Can you spare a minute of your time and vote for her?

If you have a minute could you vote for Emily's 'Bloody Gulls' mural in town. If she gets the most votes she gets a grand, which would be rather nice.
If you vote I'll give you the most amazing imaginary high five you've ever had, like really really awesome. Maybe even an imaginary back slap and handshake, who knows.

Newquay's doors have been transformed by local artists. Cast your vote for your favourite.
