  I had a fantastic 3 days of freediving and spearfishing with Arturo at Apnea Total Gozo. This was my first time trying both, and I had absolutely no prior experience. Arturo is an outstanding teacher, and his passion for the water is infectious. He has a real talent for making the theory interesting and, more importantly, showing you how to apply it in the water. The dry practice and exercises really pay dividends when you’re in the water just an hour later. Spending time in the water with Arturo was an absolute blast, and it was amazing to see how much you can achieve in just a few days, even starting from scratch. Thank you, Arturo, for a great experience and a great time. I hope to be back in Gozo soon!

  I had such a great time with my instructor Reggie! She made me feel very safe in the water, after me not having dove in 3 years. We had a really good conversation on relaxation , and practiced my technique again. It was a fantastic experience being in the blue water, freediving with amazing support. Thank you to the team for making it a great experience , really professional and I learnt so much from Reggie about the sport and her journey as well freediving ❤️ thank you!!! I will be back soon

  100% recommended! I arrived with zero diving experience and am leaving with a new passion. I was lucky enough to have Arturo as our instructor, and that played a huge part in what I’ve taken away from the course! He’s very friendly and approachable, but also very attentive, and he made sure throughout the course that we got the very best out of it. It’s definitely an activity that, if you’ve never tried it before, will change the way you view your holidays. I’d definitely do it again – I’m already thinking about my next trip to Malta so I can do a more advanced course with Arturo.

  I had an amazing time in my two days of diving with Apnea Total Malta. It was a last minute booking in peak season but they did their best to accommodate me and let me know about an opening to dive. My depth session with Reggie was fantastic - I haven't met anyone who both infectiously update but also super calming. I had wanted to wreck dive for the second day and the team coordinated to make sure it was suitable for me. It was an equally delightful session. Arturo was a wonderful guide who put in extra work counteracting currents to make sure I could be in position for a good view at the bottom. I received videos from both diving days. Both dive sites were a short swim from shore. I highly recommend them for both coaching and fun diving experiences.

  Learning to Free dive with Apnea Total in Gozo was a fantastic experience. Four of us signed up for a Discover Freediving course. No-one in the group had done this before so it seemed like the perfect introduction to the sport. Initially there was some nervousness and apprehension, everyone a little uncertain about holding their breath underwater. Our Instructor Arturo, through a combined passion for his sport, professional instruction, and relaxed manner immediately put everyone at ease. The day was split into 2 halves. Firstly the classroom where we learned about the sport and the equipment used. He explained to us physiology and the effects that being submerged has on the body, and breathing and relaxation techniques that we would later employ. The time flew by! The second half of the day was spent in the sea where we were introduced to the practical elements. Everything we did was demonstrated in bite sized chunks, and we slowly built our technique step by step. Everybody in the group progressed at different rates, yet Arturo managed to personalise the training to the individual. No-one felt left behind or pressured to move on before they were ready, and by the end of the day we all had achieved much more than we had expected to. Each of us felt that we had really achieved something. My wife and I (she was one of the four) were free the next day so we combined our Discover training day into the full freediving course. As you would expect the second day built on what we had previously been taught. We developed our breathing and relaxation exercises, and learned about safety and rescue techniques. In the water, the progression continued in a similar manner, as we kept practicing Arturo gave constant feedback, guidance, and encouragement. I can happily announce that we are freedivers! -albeit baby ones. We both had the best two days learning to freedive, and we are certainly going back for more training. The wife has her eye on a mono-fin and a sparkly mermaids tail, and I am going back to build on what I have learned so far. Our friends are also returning to complete the full course. If you’re reading this review weighing up whether or not to give it a try. All I can tell you is that I cannot recommend this school highly enough. Value for money, professionalism, enthusiasm, and top quality instruction they get a 10/10 from us.

  I recently completed the Freediving Course with Apnea Total Malta, and my feedback is extremely positive. The course is very well structured. It is an intensive two-day experience and the amount of knowledge gained is enormous. As an Advanced Open Water (PADI AOW) scuba diver with more than 50 dives, I learned a lot of new things that will be useful not only for both sports, but also for improving my respiratory health and breathing techniques in general. Our instructor, Arturo, was excellent. Besides sharing a great deal of knowledge with us, he was always very attentive to the students, both during the theory sessions and in the practical sessions in the sea. He encouraged us to go beyond our perceived “limits”, but always with safety as the absolute priority. Both Apnea Total Malta and Arturo are highly recommended. A big thank you to the whole team for an excellent experience!

  Es hat unglaublich Spaß gemacht. Danke Reggie, für die kompetene Einweisung und für das sichere Gefühl, welches du uns jederzeit vermittelt hast. Auch toll ist es, im Nachhinein Bilder und Videos von den Unterwasser-Einheiten zu haben. Klare Empfehlung!

  Una experiencia de 10. Arturo no solo es un gran instructor de apnea, también consigue transmitirte mucha calma y confianza. Gracias a él he podido superar miedos, sentirme más seguro en el agua y disfrutar muchísimo de la experiencia. Se nota que le apasiona lo que hace. Totalmente recomendable.
