Freedive Nusa
Our freediving school is created by freedivers, for freedivers. We are passionate about freediving. We love to share our experience and connection with the ocean by teaching others how to hold their breath and how to be free underwater.
Our advantages and facilities
Explore the fantastic Nusa Penida island and amazing underwater world with team of proffessionals
Our team
We are a team of experienced freedive instructors, who will lead you to the world of freediving. We use only light and gentle approach for our students so it will be a pleasurable experience for everyone.
Conditions for freediving
Conditions for freediving are perfect here: visibility stays on the high level all year round, water temperature is around 27-29 C. We can dive from the shore or take a boat to reach farther sites.
Unique underwater life
Spectacular coral reefs with millions of fish just in front of the school. There is plenty of interesting dive sites around the island and possibility to dive with giant Manta Rays and Mola-Mola Fish.
Incredible nature of the island
Beautiful beaches between high rock cliffs, stunning rocky breakages with unforgettable landscapes, underground temple, real tropical forest, waterfalls, etc.
Relaxing atmosphere
Tranquil rural atmosphere and kind friendly locals. Island is just starting to develop its touristic infrastructure, so it is not yet crowded with tourists, but at the same time it’s easy to find daily necessities.
The most convenient location
Our school is located just 20 meters from the shore, not far from several hotels and cafes that serve tasty and healthy food. Traditional markets with fresh veggies and fruits are 5-10 minutes away by motorbike.

We did a bit of dry practicing and then open-water dive after which I got my answers. I was guided by Kirill who is knowledgeable and quickly understands the reasons of the issue. On returning back we did some analysis and I got recommendations and exercises. That was a really professional approach so I recommend anybody to do training with these guys. A BIG THANKS and wish Freedivenusa maintaining highest levels! read less

Yeah, I knew how to go underwater, but I didn't know how to do this right actually. So the 2 hour lesson at Nusa Dua Freedive School that I had with Heiko was really useful for me. It gave me introduction into the world of freedivers. During the whole lesson it was easy and very interesting to obtain information. Illustrative examples of my teacher made it easier to learn and to understand what to do in this or that cases.
I want to express my gratitude to my instructor Heiko Franken. Thanks to you now I know what I have to do to dive very deep. How to inhale and exhale. And what I don't have to do. Thank you for your support. And thank you for letting me dive for 14 meters. It was very pleasant and important for me to hear that I'm so natural in water. Thank you for making me feel like a mermaid. read less - Дарья Скорлупкина7/27/2021 - Google

More than just a school, we really felt like we found a small family on Nusa Penida. Kirill, Artur, Emily and Heiko are great and welcoming people, and create an awesome atmosphere at Freedive Nusa, which just makes you want to hang out, and gravitate around the school. In addition to that, they also are amazing and experienced instructors, which made us perform beyond our expectations, without it ever feeling unsafe, pushed, or rushed. The training was about understanding / listening to our bodies, whilst having (a lot of) fun. Seriously, a big thank you to you all! We kept up the training, and will be back soon!! read less

So, I wanted a professional and safe freediving school for my Level 1 course, but also with a cool and chilled vibe, and that is exactly what I got!
Emily was my instructor, and I really recommend her. She is extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, and enthusiastic. She guided me throughout all areas in a calm and reassuring way. I went from holding my breath from 1min to then 3min40 in the same afternoon, after her clear and reassuring explanations and demonstrations. In the water, even though I had issues equalising and getting deeper, so she tailored the sessions to suit my needs and to get the best outcome of each session and ultimately the course.
I am extremely happy to have done this course in this school, and with Emily's help. This very different experience has already helped me on my scuba diving air consumption, which has dramatically decreased!:)
Can only recommend this school to you if you are looking for a professional, safe but also chilled freediving experience! read lessAimee Fergusson5/14/2017 - FacebookI had a wonderful few training sessions on Nusa Penida - Kirill and Yana have created such a beautiful space... read moreI had a wonderful few training sessions on Nusa Penida - Kirill and Yana have created such a beautiful space and homely environment to feel supported in while you train.

Open water sessions were done safely and under direct supervision. Groups are small so that you get 1-to-1 time with instructors. Good quality equiptment. The actual school is soooo nice and super chilled (with cute resident dog and gato).
My first course went so well that I ended up extending my stay in Nusa so I could do SSI 2. After a week i managed to go down 30m depth (PB), improved my technique (started out with lots of bad self-taught habits) and finished off feeling way more confident.
I cant recommend these guys enough! I saw first hand how Emily and Artur trained and introduced people to freediving. Divers that had completed courses but had never been taught how to equalize - Emily took the time to find different ways to teach them.
Manta trip and the batcave was a highlight. They always try to end sessions with snorkeling on the reef.
Would love to come back and train here again. They have the perfect setup in Penida. All the locals love them as well.
Thanks team!! read less

YES! Freediving is a very safe sport if it is practiced correctly. It is a natural activity, and the human body is very well capable of breath-holding and diving underwater. Taking an officially recognized freediving course will only make you a safer and a more confident freediver.
Accidents happen because of lack of proper training and education. Beware of bogus freediving coaches. Ask questions about their certification so that you will know that you are in safe with them.
We have a team of instructors and start courses nearly every day. Just send us a message and choose dates the most convenient for you.
