Freedive opleidingen

Martin is a more than competent instructor and makes every session fun and interesting, even if participants face difficulties. The learning curve he facilitates is so steep that I made a 250% improvement in a one hour session. He manages to be around every single move you make in the water which makes you feel very safe. Doing this course at Tangaroa opened a new world for me so I have a new hobby. If you want to start freediving; Tangaroa is a great place to start!

Ik heb de PADI Freediver opleiding bij Tangaroa gedaan en ik raad het iedereen aan die geïnteresseerd is in freediving. Martin zelf is een ervaren freediver die zijn passie graag deelt; hij legt de theorie duidelijk uit en beantwoordt alle vragen geduldig. Tijdens de duiken geeft hij duidelijke feedback over hoe je je duiken kunt verbeteren, en ook hoe je als buddy een andere freediver kunt begeleiden. Verder beschikt Martin ook over aanvullende informatie over bijvoorbeeld mindfulness en ademhalingstechnieken.
Hoogtepunt is echt de dieptesessie, die wil je niet missen!

Great training! As a surfer looking for the tools to tackle bigger waves, freediving helped me to understand how to train / improve the body to be at total ease in stressful conditions. Martin is a fontain of knowledge that wil take your game to the next level.

I did the Freediving course with Martin and cannot recommend him enough for this course. He took a lot of time to explain the technical and practical sides of freediving, gave a lot of advice on how to deal with all sorts of situations that you may encounter underwater. He was always very patient and soothing and did everything to get the very best performance out of you. For myself, who is very self-conscious and anxious, this was very needed since Martin knows how to talk the unnecessary negative thoughts out of you and motivates you to go a little deeper or longer if he thinks that you are able to go deeper or longer. Also, it was a lot of fun and a great experience and I learnt a lot about myself druing this course.

I completed the PADI freediver course with Martin. I must say that I enjoyed very much the whole course and really feel that I gained valuable knowledge for my freediving and spearfishing skills. Martin is a very good instructor who seems to love what he is doing and he is very eager to explain things in detail and answer all kinds of questions. Besides the basic training he also helped a lot to choose my equipment. He is also very kind and pleasant to talk to. Definitely recommended!

De freedive opleiding die ik bij Martin van Tangaroa heb gevolgd kan ik iedereen aanraden. Je leert veel over freediven, zowel fysiek als mentaal. Ik zwem al lang, maar het lukte mij nooit om 2 banen onderwater te zwemmen. Na uitleg en voorbereiding van Martin kon ik bijna 3 banen onderwater zwemmen. Mijn record voor adem inhouden was 1,5 minuut en na afloop kon ik bijna 4 minuten mijn adem inhouden. Martin heeft veel kennis en ervaring en is enorm enthousiast om deze kennis te delen.

Erg leerzaam en fijne begeleiding van Martin. Heel gaaf om op een interessante manier te leren en ervaren waar het lichaam toe in staat is. Martin neemt de tijd om op vragen in te gaan en helpt je bij het verleggen van je mentale en fysieke grenzen.

My goal was to have a higher co2 tolerance and to be more comfortable in the water during stress situations. Martin really knows how to teach you this and already after 1 lesson you can see so much difference in yourself. The introduction and experience of freediving by Tangaroa is 5 out of 5. You will meet really nice people and the trips to the dive towers are truly amazing!
