The most useful hour of your freediving career is sometimes the one where someone watches you for sixty minutes and tells you what they see.
A coaching session is just you and an instructor. No course agenda, no certification box to tick. You bring the question — I lose equalisation past 20 metres, my legs are tense on the descent, I’m uncomfortable on the line — and the instructor designs the session around fixing exactly that.
Common focus areas
- Static apnea. Breathing protocol, mental relaxation, building tolerance to CO₂ and to the urge to breathe. Pool-based.
- Free immersion (FIM). Pulling yourself down the line. Body position, rhythm, ear management without finning.
- Equalisation. Frenzel vs. Mouthfill, hands-free, common failure modes. We diagnose the depth at which it breaks down and rebuild from there.
- Body positioning. Streamlining the descent and ascent, finning efficiency, weighting balance, head position.
We don’t lecture. We watch, diagnose, suggest one change at a time, and let you feel the difference.
Bring your video
Video of past dives is the fastest diagnostic tool we have. If you’ve got clips from past sessions — any angle, any device — send them ahead by WhatsApp. Five minutes of footage is worth an hour of conversation.
Pricing
IDR 900,000 for one session. That’s typically 2–3 hours including setup, briefing, water work, and debrief. Equipment included.
Doing several days in a row? Block-booking is cheaper per session — see our Multi-Day Freediving Pass or message us at freedivegiliair@gmail.com.
Frequently asked
What does a typical session look like?
30 minutes sit-down to diagnose where you're stuck, 90–120 minutes in the water working on it, 20–30 minutes debrief over coffee. You leave with one or two concrete things to practise next.
I don't know exactly what I want to work on. Help.
Tell us roughly where you struggle — "I tense up on the descent", "my ears hurt past 15 m", "I can't relax on the line" — and we'll diagnose the actual problem in the first 20 minutes. Most divers think it's one thing and it's another.
Can I bring video from past sessions?
Please do. Five minutes of slow-motion footage tells us more than an hour of talking. Send clips ahead by WhatsApp and we'll review before you arrive.
How is this different from Line Training?
Coaching is teaching + feedback (instructor-led, more expensive). Line Training is supervised practice (you lead the dives, instructor watches for safety, cheaper). Pick coaching when you want to learn something new; pick line training when you want to drill what you already know.
Multiple days?
Yes — block-booking is cheaper per session. See the Multi-Day Freediving Pass listing, or just message us with your dates.

I did a free dive intro course with teacher Cass and my partner and I did some line dives afterwards in the beautiful waters of Gili air.…
