Amazing experience! Stefan is very passionate about freediving. He makes sure you believe in yourself and are able to hold your breath under water even if you thought you couldn’t. I gained the necessary knowledge for AIDA 1 and I am now hungry for more!

I recently completed the Freediving course in London, led by Stefan Ruiz, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. Stefan’s professionalism, expertise, and passion for Freediving were evident from the start. He created a safe and inspiring learning environment, tailored to each student’s needs. Safety was a top priority throughout the course. I highly recommend Freediving London to anyone interested in this incredible discipline.
