I would highly recommend this course to anyone who enjoys snorkelling, spearfishing, or is involved in any water activities. The skills you learn in such a short period of time are incredible, and you feel so much more relaxed in the water after taking a course. As a surfer, I even felt like this course could benefit my surfing, knowing just how much longer you can actually hold your breath underwater than you think. The best part is that you don't need any previous experience, and don't have to be ridiculously fit to be good at freediving.

Tex, Jon and Lisa made our experience at Freedive Utila truly unforgettable. The courses are very interesting, the vibe is super relaxed, and they make you feel very safe and comfortable in the water. They are such experienced freedivers and are able to answer any questions you may have. All the dive gear is excellent quality and in great condition, and the small class sizes meant you got plenty of one-on-one instructing in and out of the water.

I did both the beginner and advanced courses, and couldn't believe that after just 5 days in the water, got down to a depth of 38 metres. We frequented the Halliburton wreck also, and were able to explore through the various compartments of the ship, something that we were unable to do on the scuba dives we did down there.

We stayed at the accomodation on site, which was clean, tidy and very comfortable. They have a great kitchen and lounge room and an awesome dock to watch the stunning sunsets on. They even do yoga on the dock every few days for a small donation (check out the roster when you're there or look up yoga Utila on Facebook).

I couldn't recommend doing the freedive courses enough, and found it more rewarding and enjoyable than the scuba courses I took on the island (and the acommodation far more comfortable also).

Thanks again Freedive Utila, i'm sure we will be coming to dive again with you on our next visit!

I had such an incredible experience with Freediving Utila and absolutely loved my course. I completed my open water course and my instructor, Lisa, was lovely. She was extremely knowledgable and patient, thus I would highly recommend her as an instructor. Learning to dive to a depth of 21m was something I was unsure I was capable off, but after succeeding it was an amazing feeling and has encouraged me to continue advancing with the sport. Everyone involved, including the instructors, owner, Tex, and fellow divers were all very welcoming and friendly, making my introduction to freediving quite comfortable and social.
This was definitely a highlight to my trip and the crew here are unbeatable. If looking to try freediving or engage in a new opportunity, I couldn't recommend these guys enough.
