May 2023 Courses in The United Arab Emirates

In May 2023, apnea.center ran its first freediving instructor course in the UAE. It was combined with two student freediving courses (beginners and advanced) in order to provide the instructor candidate with plenty of real teaching situations. In the mornings, we travelled several times to Dibba in Fujairah, where the freediving courses took place. All students had a lot of fun and really enjoyed great conditions on the boats and in the water. One day, we were visited by an adult black tip shark, which was circling our buoy while our students were doing their deep dives. After the dives we enjoyed delicious food at the local restaurants in Dibba. The pool sessions for the static requirements were organized in various hotel pools, while for the dynamic requirements we had access to public pools – all in Dubai. We are delighted to welcome all newly certified students to our Dubai freediving community and hope to see them again soon.
