WHY LEARN WITH US
What makes Freedive Nusa different
Experienced team
We’ve been teaching freediving on Nusa Penida since 2017 and trained over 6,000 certified freedivers. Group size is capped at 4 — every dive gets feedback.
Year-round training conditions
20–30 m visibility, water at 27–29 °C, walls accessible to any training depth. Fun diving from the shore, the training site is reached by a short boat ride.
3-day basic course
Most schools cover Level 1 in two days. We add a third — extra ocean training, time for equalization troubleshooting, and reef dives. Medical insurance included.
From the course to the expedition
Students rarely stop at the certificate. We run freediving trips to Raja Ampat, Komodo, Alor, Misool, Maratua and beyond.
Full training facilities
Pools for static and dynamic apnea, classrooms, two dive boats, yoga studio, gym, sauna, ice bath — all on a single property 20 meters from the shore.
A school people return to
Many students return for advanced courses, coaching, or expeditions. Some stay with us for months as master students or instructor candidates.

He was the perfect mix of clear instructions and explanations, patience as we got used to this new challenging environment, and also gently pushing us each time we went under the water - super observant and useful tips each time.

Close to Toyapekah harbor (moto taxi 50,000 R)
Went on their Manta Trip
Very nice instructor, Roberto, and small group (max 14).
Pretty rough ride to Manta Point (choppy waters!
Recommend medicating to prevent seasickness.
There are a lot of boats and a lot of people in the water. If you stay in the crowd, it's chaos! Pretty much guaranteed to get kicked in the face.
We swam away from the crowd, stayed at the edge (entrance/exit) and saw so many Manta rays!!
Guessing around 50...!!! Stopped counting after 20. 👏👏👏
Majestic, beautiful creatures.
Definitely recommend.
The waters are choppy and chilly.
So be prepared.
And enjoy the show!

Freedive Nusa is a freediving school in Bali located on Nusa Penida Island. This is a beautiful tropical island, located 12 kilometers southeast of Bali. Getting to Nusa Penida is very easy - it is only 40 minutes away by speed boat from South Bali.
Diving and snorkeling in Bali is an experience that every underwater lover who visits the island should try. The most beautiful and popular dive sites of Bali are located around Nusa Penida. Therefore diving in Nusa Penida is a must-do activity for every ocean explorer.
For freediving training, Bali offers unlimited training depth with visibility 20-30 meters, water temperature of 28-29 degrees, drift diving in the currents, an amazing underwater world, and the possibility to dive with manta rays all year round. This is one of the best places in Asia where you can learn to freedive and our freedive instructors in Bali will make your experience methodical, safe, and rewarding.

Freediving in Indonesia is very rich and diverse. We organize daily manta trips, unique freedive trips around Indonesia and freediving in Bali.

Freediving is a relatively safe sport when practised under proper supervision and following safety protocols. The body has natural adaptations for breath-holding — a certified course teaches you to use them correctly.
Accidents happen because of lack of proper training and education. Always check your instructor's certification. Ask questions about their actual teaching experience so that you know you are in safe hands.
We have a team of instructors and start courses nearly every day. Just send us a message and choose the dates most convenient for you.
