Freediving Gear and ProductsBy Vincent Sparreboom March 29, 2016 Leave a comment

We are very happy to announce that we received the first two shipments of the hottest and best lanyards currently available! Vice World Champion Alexander Bubenchikov developed the 2b Free Freediving lanyards himself, and they are finally available for sale.

The best experience in Napaling. Underwater Biodiversity is so majestic. Rashid took care of us and he will guide you all the way. Super enjoy!! 😊

It was a great snorkeling experience! The coach Ryan is very caring and professional.

所有員工很好，尤其是帶我出去看沙甸魚這位老導師，細心熱情，詳細解釋，幫忙拍照，尤其照顧我人生安全，這次體驗非常好，東南亞國家很少有這個玩意，起初我是訂早上九點的，但潛水公司建議我改七點較好，這時人潮沒有那麽多及風浪不會太大，果然非常好提議

Sir Rashid (our tour guide) and the staff of Freedive Academy were very accommodating and kind. We had such a great time during our freediving experience! Would recommend it to others 💯

Rashid was my guide for both the glass bottom kayak and snorkeling. Had a great time with him and the sardines! He took really love pictures, and was so sweet and patient overall. I would love to come back and learn to free dive with him someday.

Our family participated in the Glass Bottom Boat Tour with the Panglao Freedive Academy. We had John, Rashid and Arnold as our tour guides. They were amazing an helpful, as were all the staff during our booking! I highly recommend you request for those tour guides if you plan on going! Thank you so much to all the staff for an amazing experience!

Level 1, 2 and 3 SSI then 3 months of master training and I've loved it. The academy is a great place to learn and train. Poolside is very chill and relaxed yet focused and knowledgeable with all the trainers and masters. You can very much be focused on your own goals and train at your own pace! Then the line diving at Napaling reef is fantastic.

The staff are super helpful and friendly as well. I've loved my time here and hope I can come again!
