Freedive coaching

If you’d like to perfect a particular skill, a coaching session with a professional is your safest bet to achieving your goals. With the ability and experience to assess you, your coach, Fabrice, can craft a training plan specific to your needs. Whether you’re looking to improve your finning, equalising (mouthfill, frenzel, charging, air shift techniques; the list goes on), duck diving, how to properly execute free-immersion on a line or you simply want to nail a relaxation technique, your coach will be able to help you reach your objectives.

And seeing that each individual has different aquatic abilities, spending that extra time in the water can make all the difference and it can truly help you master a skill.That’s why we recommend a minimum of five days of coaching, with breaks in between to rest your body and mind. If possible, we highly recommend extending your stay for two weeks, maximizing your progress and overall experience.

If you have attended a course or would like a few more days coaching, please get in touch with us.

A typical day

Our session includes a discussion of what will take place throughout the day, stretching, breath-work, as well as one open water session, followed by a debrief during which we analyse the progress so far. Exploration of dive sites is always included in our coaching programs.

Morning - Making a plan and preparing for the open water session

Start your morning with an all-round stretch to loosen your body. We'll then move on to specific lung stretching exercises, followed by breathing exercises and Jedi master mind tricks from yoga-nidra to prepare you for diving. After that, we'll delve into equalizing, covering theory, practice, and repetition. Finally, we'll help you craft a session plan for the upcoming activities.

Late morning / afternoon - Heading out to the open water

During your first open water session, we’ll focus on making you comfortable in the water and getting into the swing of things, while keeping the plan we devised earlier on in the day in mind. This session will also provide your coach the opportunity to analyse your diving and to determine what needs to be done further. At the end of the session we’ll plan and set goals for our future coaching sessions.

Who's your coach?

Throughout the years, Fabrice has honed his skills by learning from the world’s best coaches, and he continues to do so. In fact, he has collaborated with and shadowed Harry Chamas, one of the leading coaches at Freedive Passion. Fabrice is committed to continuously improving his coaching and freediving abilities, always striving to stay at the forefront of the game.

With a profound understanding of equalization, Fabrice employs various tools and exercises to assist freedivers during their dry training, simulating the experience of a freedive. Moreover, he accompanies you during dives up to 30 meters, closely observing your teachnique, form and meticulously attending to minute details that can make or break your performance. Get ready for an exceptional coaching experience at the highest level.

Is coaching appropriate for you?

Coaching provides a more individualised and tailored approach to progressing at improving freedivng skills, taking the student’s abilities to the next level. After your initial course, the path to improvement in freediving lies in proper training. Courses are only relevant if you aim to become an instructor. Depth and feeling good is not determined by a piece of paper.

At Deep Med, we strongly believe that coaching is the ideal path for any freediver. Unlike traditional courses that focus on numbers, checking off skills, certifications, and time constraints, we prioritize the true essence of freediving. Our coaching approach allows you to experience the authentic feeling of freediving, breaking down skills in an accessible manner, delving deep into details, and guiding you to achieve the ultimate freedive performance. 

On the other hand, if you’re already certified and you would rather dive on a line with other divers, our training session is perfect for you to buddy with other freedivers and share your passion as you hone in your skills.

A balance between line diving & adventure

Whilst coaching is a great way to hone in on your skills, there’s nothing like throwing expectations out of the window and having some fun either flying a swim-through or diving a wreck. Our coaching program is not all about being serious. It’s aimed at freedivers who already have knowledge and skills to put them to the test both on the line and during an adventure.

We’ll make sure to line dive everyday and keep it as fluid as possible whilst going with the flow of the group. This is why we strongly encourage a minimum of five days freediving; options can be kept open to make sure you get the most out of it!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to be a certified freediver to participate in a coaching session?

    Our coaching sessions are appropriate for both certified and non certified divers. Certified divers can focus on improving a particular discipline, while non certified divers can master any skills they want following a training plan fit to their needs. Alternatively, a coaching session may also be used as an opportunity to prepare yourself for a course.

  • I would like to train with a coach but I’m new to freediving and I’m not sure where to begin. How can the coach help me?

    Unlike a course which has an established skillset you should achieve in order to acquire your certification, coaching is tailored specifically to your goals. If you don’t know what these should be, your instructor can help you devise a plan, guide you and offer advice.

  • I have difficulties when it comes to equalising. Will coaching help me?

    Equalising is a skill and like all skills this is something you can improve at through training and carrying out dry awareness exercises. A good coach will be able to spot what you may be doing wrong and can devise a plan to better yourself. However, participating in a days’ worth of coaching won’t provide you with sufficient time in the water so we recommend having a look at our packages.

  • What should I bring with me on the course?

    All equipment is included in all the courses so all you need to bring with you is your swimwear and a towel. Should you wish, you may bring a light snack, although we do provide nuts, fruits and water.
