  Spearfishing 🎣

I did my first-ever spearfishing safari with Arturo, an instructor at Apnea Total Malta, and it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had!

Everything was extremely well organized, with every step explained clearly and professionally. The session was not only exciting but also very informative. Arturo took the time to identify my weaknesses and give me valuable advice to improve my skills, while making sure I enjoyed every moment of the experience.

On top of being an outstanding spearfishing instructor, Arturo also captures amazing professional-quality photos and videos, giving you incredible memories to look back on! 🤿📸

Freediving 🌊

I also did two freediving sessions with Reggi, and the improvement was honestly crazy!

I used to struggle with a high heart rate on the surface, relaxing properly, and some technical issues. After just the first session, following Reggi’s advice, I was surprised to reach 30 metres and set a new PB of 32 metres! 🤯

I’ve tried several freediving schools and instructors, but one thing I’ve often missed is the fun and enjoyment. Reggi manages to combine real progress with a fantastic atmosphere and positive vibes, even when seasickness decides to join the session! 😂

It was a great mix of learning, improvement, and pure fun. I can’t wait to come back for another session!

Overall, I highly recommend Apnea Total Malta to anyone interested in spearfishing or freediving. Whether you want to improve your skills, challenge yourself, or simply enjoy an unforgettable experience in the sea, you’re in great hands.

You definitely won’t be disappointed! 🤙🏼

  Ich habe bei ApneaTotal meinen Advanced Freediver Kurs gemacht und würde es auf der Stelle wieder hier tun! Meine Instruktorin Reggie war stets bemüht, dass ich mich wohl und sicher fühle. Sie war die ganze Zeit so aufmerksam und hat mir dabei so viele Tipps gegeben, wie ich gewisse Dinge verbessern kann. Außerdem war alles total flexibel und unkompliziert, gleichzeitig hab ich mir so viel von diesem Kurs mitgenommen und so schöne Tauchsessions gehabt. Ich kann ApneaTotal jedem empfehlen, der auf Malta nach einer guten Freediving Schule sucht!

  Arturo The Man! Incredible last minute organisation of an Advanced Freediver Course for me after my planned school had to cancel last minute. With a few key tips and new pointers I was able to absolutely smash my expectations of what I was capable of before the course. Seems to have great intuition for when to encourage students to push limits and when to slow things down a bit, all with safety as the key priority. Had some equalisation issues on one of my deep diving days so Arturo was patient, kind but firm that it wasn’t the day to push it and bent over backwards to rearrange for another day on my short trip and make sure I could complete my course before leaving Malta. Can’t recommend his coaching enough. Apnea Total also an interesting different association to try out if you have previous experience with a different one (I crossed over from AIDA 2)

  Great experience overall. Went spearfishing for 2 days in a row and I got tons of useful tips on how to approach fish, how to handle the gun etc. Mediterranean is no joke so really need to be on point with the technique. Saw some cool spots as well! Thanks!

  이집트에서 아이다2따고 처음하는 프리다이빙이어서 조금 긴장된 상태로 펀다이빙을 나갔는데 Reggie강사님의 긍정적이고 밝은 에너지 덕분에 금방 긴장이 풀릴수 있었습니다. 제 컨디션과 실력에 맞추어 다이빙 깊이나 코스(동굴 통과 등)를 그때그때 바꿔주셔서 더욱 재밌게 다이빙을 즐길 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 물 밖으로 나왔을때 걷기도 힘들 정도로 지쳤지만 얼굴은 웃는 얼굴로 나왔습니다. 몰타 프리다이빙 찾고계시면 강력하게 추천드립니다

  I came for the free diving discovery day and then extended it to the full course because I liked it so much and felt so well taken care of.

Reggie is a superb instructor, both in theory as in practical sessions. Absolutely professional and safe at every step.

Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn freediving!

  Wir hatten nur einen Tag Zeit und haben uns deshalb für den Discover Course entschieden. Rückblickend die richtige Entscheidung: Der Vormittag bestand aus Theorie und Einweisung, sodass wir die Grundlagen und die Sicherheitsaspekte verstanden hatten, bevor es überhaupt ins Wasser ging. Am Nachmittag folgte die Praxiseinheit in herrlich blauem, klarem Wasser, und wir konnten das Gelernte tatsächlich umgehend und erfolgreich umsetzen.

Dazu trägt vor allem Arturo bei. Mit seiner persönlichen und zugleich professionellen Art motiviert er, nimmt sich Zeit und vermittelt ein Gefühl von Sicherheit und Vertrauen, das bei diesem Vorhaben viel wert ist. Dazu kommt seine lockere, humorvolle Seite, die einem die Anspannung nimmt und dafür sorgt, dass man mit Spaß bei der Sache bleibt. Da die Gruppe klein bleibt, kann er auf jeden Einzelnen individuell eingehen, und wer Spanisch spricht, merkt schnell, wie sehr er sich freut, auch mal auf Spanisch zu erklären.

Für alle mit knappem Zeitbudget, die Freediving ernsthaft ausprobieren wollen: klare Empfehlung. Wir bleiben auf jeden Fall dran und kommen dafür gerne noch einmal nach Gozo zu Apnea Total Malta, so gut hat es uns gefallen.
