Who Is Freediving Coaching For?

All freedivers can benefit from a freediving coaching. Personalised coaching is the most effective way to improve your freediving performance safely and efficiently.

Our freediving coaching sessions in Malta and Gozo are designed for freedivers of all levels, from beginners who want more confidence to experienced divers looking for advanced training.

Coached sessions are ideal if you want to ease back in the water, improve form and technique, prepare for a certification, or simply keep progressing as a certified freediver.

WHY YOU NEED AN INSTRUCTOR?

Short answer:  TRAIN SMART -DIVE BETTER

Training on your own with fellow freedivers on the line can be useful practice, but coached sessions give you the advantage of expert observation and correction.

An instructor can help you train smarter by assessing your current freediving skills: identifying strengths, weaknesses, and technical errors; creating a training plan tailored to your goals and level, and offering safety while you focus on technique.

What happens during a Coaching?

Each coaching session starts with the understanding of your personal goals to design the most suited apnea training program.

Under water, with your goals in mind, your instructor will help you improve your freediving performance.

After the water session, your instructor will give you feedback and training advice so that you can keep on maximizing your potential by yourself.

THE MOST COMMON COACHING GOALS ARE:

  • Equalization issues
  • Deep dives, freefall, mouthfill, FRCs & exhale dives
  • Body position, breath holds, overall technique...
  • Relaxation, mental blocks, general knowledge development
  • New freediving disciplines, new diving equipment, etc.

We can help you with all of these and so much more

Why Choose Apnea Total Malta for your Advanced Training?

At Apnea Total Malta, freediving coaching is a structured and personalised training designed to help you progress efficiently. Our experienced instructors assess your underwater performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and provide targeted guidance to help you refine your skills and progress with confidence.

PERSONALIZED COACHING APPROACH

Every freediver progresses differently. We tailor each session to your specific needs rather than following a generic training structure.

EXPERIENCE ACROSS ALL AREAS OF FREEDVING

Thanks to decades of teaching experience, we can provide coaching for virtually any objective: depth, progression, equalization, body position, freefall, relaxation, competition preparation, confidence building and much more.

SMALL GROUPS & INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION

Our coaching sessions ensure direct instructor feedback and close supervision throughout the session. The instructor always dives with you. They never observe from the surface or from shallow water only.

EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTORS

Train with highly experienced instructors specialised in freediving education, skill development, and safety procedures. Their ability to read each student, understand individual needs, and adapt to their pace ensures coaching stays in tune with your progress.

SUSTAINABLE PROGRESS

We prioritise correct technique and safe progression so you can build confidence and improve sustainably. After each session, instructors provide practical advice and tips to help you keep improving beyond the session.

IDEAL TRAINING CONDITIONS

Train in the crystal-clear waters of Malta and Gozo, where excellent visibility and calm seas create perfect conditions for your advanced freediving training.

Meet your Instructors

The success of your freediving journey depends also on your instructor. At Apnea Total Malta, you train with highly experienced and passionate instructors who personalise every session to your needs, level, and goals. Whether you train in Malta or Gozo, you will benefit from decades of experience and a highly personalised approach from both our instructors, Arturo and Reggie.

Arturo and Reggie share a common philosophy: every freediver is unique. Their coaching focuses on safety, relaxation, proper technique, and helping you become the freediver you want to be, not simply chasing numbers.

Apnea total freediving in Gozo was incredible. I booked my two teenage children (18 and 15) in with Arturo and he was amazing with them. They learnt so much from his expert tuition and really appreciated his humour. His English was perfecto! They both flourished with his guidance and completed their freediver course. He also sent us amazing footage of them freediving - memories to cherish forever. I 100% recommend Apnea for a freediving certification and experience.

I’m scuba diver and I wanted to try apnea to learn new things. I chose Gozo island in Malta to do the level 1 freediving course with Apnea Total Malta and the experience was amazing. The instructor Arturo was fantastic, professional, patient and encouraging, making me feel confortable and confident throughout the training. I got certified in two days with no problem. Reaching 20 metres deep with no gear, just fins and mask, was an unforgettable experience. The crystal-clear, beautiful blue waters and perfect water temperature made the experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely keep practicing, that’s for sure! I totally recommend it! THANKS !!!

This was my second time doing multiple dives with Apnea Total Malta. So happy with the experience, with the instructor, the set up and the teaching. Super nice fun dives around a reef and diving in caves. Would love to come back again!

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)

I took the Discover Spearfishing course, and it was a fantastic day. Both the theory and practical sessions are well-structured, and Arturo is truly an expert. Highly recommended.

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!
