Head Instructor & Founder/Owner: David

I am the founder and head instructor of One Breath Freediving. I have been a freediving instructor since 2012, and am qualified in the AIDA, PADI & SSI freediving education systems, having trained and dived with some of the worlds top freedivers and coaches. I hold additional qualifications in Personal Training, Sports Massage Therapy and Sport & Exercise Science , in which I hold a BSc. Honors Degree.
I love the freedom and silence that freediving provides as well as the ability to interact with marine life in the most natural way possible. I have a great passion for the ocean which I share with others through my teaching and also underwater photography. Freediving provides me with an opportunity to see the amazing marine life below the surface, and also satisfies my love for training and self improvement, both physically and mentally. I frequently apply my varied experience and knowledge of health, fitness and scientific background to benefit my student freedivers.

Instructor: José
I was born and grew up in a city on the Andean mountains, in Colombia. I have always been attracted by water, in the form of a river, a lake, a pool or specially the Ocean.
Since I was a child, swimming has been part of my everyday life. As a teenager I tried competitions and despite good results, I discovered that my connection with water was more motivated by the experience itself than by performance. After a short incursion in the scuba diving world, I was captivated by freediving and since that moment I turned it into my main underwater activity. In my career as design engineer, I have been involved in many initiatives that promote innovation for education. So, as freediving instructor I try to bring all that experience into the students learning journey. Also, for more than 12 years I have been a dedicated yogi, and I find a lot of relations between freediving and meditation. I find in the silent underwater blue a very prolific environment for inner connection.
