Everything about the Wave 1 course was great: the facilities, the equipment and especially our instructor, Gaston. He was incredibly skilled at teaching new freedivers. He explained everything very clearly, made us all feel at ease, and made sure that each one of us got the support they needed to progress. I can't recommend him highly enough! Thanks again for these amazing 3 days!
Both the accommodation and yoga were great too. The hotel was just around the corner, had a pool and served good breakfast. So, I was very happy with booking the package. So far definitely a 5-star-plus experience.
Unfortunately, my trip ended with a disappointment, because the manta trip was a 1-star experience. After 3 days of an amazing course, I was looking forward to a fun freediving session with mantas. However, I was simply dropped off at the harbour and told to join a snorkeling boat from another operator that did not cater to freedivers and simply stuffed their boat as full as possible (20 people). At each snorkelling spot we were rushed into the water and had to get out after just a few minutes. Certainly not relaxed enough to freedive.
My conclusion: definitely go to Freedive Nusa for any course and trip that they organize themselves, but stay away from trips that a third party runs for them (that is, if they tell you beforehand, they did not in my case). скрыть

I had also booked the photo package for the trip. I am totally thrilled. We were well briefed by Chiara and Reina. As I am not a very experienced diver, I also received valuable tips during the dive. What I saw underwater was very impressive. I was able to see several manta rays at the same time. At two other stops, we saw turtles 🐢 and other colourful fish 🐠🐟🪸.
Care was also taken to ensure that all divers kept their distance from the fish and the reefs.
I would book this trip again.
And the pictures by Chiara (Carpe Diem Holistic) are wonderful скрыть

It was a short, compact memorable adventure trip! We had the best guide Sabli who arranged everything well including putting all details in group chat before the day. He explained well about the details of each activity ( whale shark diving, hiking ) making sure we all are comfortable. He also took time and effort to take us pictures and videos under the water. And all the pictures are amazing!!
Thank you Sabli and Freedive Nusa for memorable experiences. Will come back for the training😍 скрыть

Honestly world class.
The venue itself, is a paradise and a great little social hub, I'll be back again for wave 3 and some training asap! скрыть

They really know how to make the experience unique, whether you are snorkeling or freediving.
The most important thing: Safety is their top concern at all times, and the organization from Freediving Nusa allows you to just relax and enjoy the ride.
You'll be given all the information you need to know what to do and when, and how to make the most out of the experience.
The facilities in the school are designed to provide the best service. Gear, showers, places to rinse gear and cameras, towels, sea sickness tablets, sunscreen, water, they really thought about everything needed to enjoy the during AND after a water adventure.
Kirill leads this school and he makes an immense difference, as a Molchanovs Instructor Developer, he ensures the highest quality standards not just for the school, but also for the adventure trips.
His crew follows his lead and example. They are absolutely amazing, very passionate for the ocean and its conservation, and highly trained water people.
Having been in Nusa Penida for over a decade now, they really know the good places and the right times, making the experience unique. No other tour can provide what they do.
I'll visit them every time I'm in Nusa Penida. Leaving some pictures of the Amazing places we visited, some of the things we saw, and of how safe one feels when diving with them!!! скрыть

Amazing organization, professional stuff, great welcome upon arrival, lockers for the belongings, good facilities at school, gave us all the equipment, mask, wetsuit, fins. We rented a go pro and filmed lots of footage, go pro rental is 350k. Safe boat trip to manta point, saw a big manta and filmed good videos. The weather conditions however were not the best, cold and big waves. Everything was well organized, and they sent us the link for downloading the videos straight away! This is a great trip for snorkeling. For improving your freediving skills I would choose something else. скрыть

As someone who had never free dived before, I was initially hesitant to join, but I am now excited to continue diving in the future.
Kiril, our guide, curated an incredible experience for us. He took us to all the best dive spots and always knew where to find the most amazing animals. We swam through trenches, drifted in currents that made me feel weightless, and encountered magnificent coral reefs at every turn. We had the privilege of diving with manta rays, turtles, sharks, and even spotted dolphins from the boat.
Kiril was an exceptional teacher and provided beginners like myself with the fundamental skills necessary to free dive safely. Throughout the entire trip, he ensured our safety and comfort, making the experience all the more enjoyable.
Overall, I cannot recommend FreeDive Nusa and Kiril enough. This trip was truly unforgettable, and I cannot wait to dive with them again in the future. I will definitely be doing the Level 1 course soon. Thank you for an incredible experience! скрыть

And that was an amazing trip! There were zero delays and everything went silky smooth. The boat, the crew, the food. And obviously the underwater world! Not only underwater, though. We've been also to the Komodo village and with the help from local ranger we saw 3 Komodo dragons. And we've been to the pink beach and to the moon shaped tiny beach. And of course the Padar island viewpoint where you can see black, white and pink beaches at the same time. I still can't believe such exists. Overall I highly recommend the trip. It's a lifetime experience and it's well worth the money! скрыть

Since I started planning my trip they were so helpful and communicated really well, but when I got to Nusa Penida they surprised me even more. There were not enough people to do the ‘Try Freediving’ course I booked, but they made a lot of effort to have me join another group. The teacher Gaston came early to explain everything so I would feel fine during the excercises and freediving during that day! I learned so much and did better than I ever expected.
The next day I did the Manta Trip and that was incredible! With all the knowledge I learned the day before I went super comfortable, but also for people who just did that experience the material and explanation was professional, clear and all about safety and respecting wild life.
We were blessed by seeing many mantas and later some turtles and beautiful corals and fish at the home reef.
Thank you Freedive Nusa for your flexibility and effort to make it work because for me it was a dream come true. Hope to be back for the full course! скрыть
