One Day Freediver Course Reviews
Love the whole ethos of the Pressure Project. Our instructors, El and Alexis, were so knowledgeable, patient and kind. One to three ratio in the ocean meant I felt so supported, and ultimately was successful getting through all my skills. I can’t wait to come back to do my Advanced! Thanks so much guys.

Great day. Great crew. Great instructor. If you’re thinking about living out your mermaid dreams (like me), do yourself a favour and learn the fundamentals with Adam. Looking forward to more adventures under the sea.
