Two Day Freediver Course Reviews

The two day course with the pressure project was truly a life-changing experience. I started the course with a few anxieties of how I would cope diving deep But with the training I received and fantastic coaches, I smashed all the boundaries up in front of myself. I would 100% recommend anyone with even a small interest in free diving take this course. Safety aspect in the water is a great help, The breath work Fantastic meditation and smashing go out in the ocean will stick with me forever! The pressure project is truly a remarkable company and I look forward to joining them on another course soon.

10/10 for the two-day free dive course. I’m an instructor in a very different industry but know when you’re being taught by someone skilled and passionate. Elle was amazing! Watching her guide, encourage, change things up, adapt, and celebrate with all the students to get the most out of all of us was heartwarming. Thanks for teaching and showing me what I was capable of and for far exceeding what I thought would be possible for myself.

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.
