"I started freediving in 2017 after overcoming a fear of the water. I put off doing my instructor course for years because I didn’t feel I met the performance requirements and wasn’t ready. But Sam created an environment where I felt safe, supported, and helped grow my confidence. His calm energy and trust in me shifted my mindset - I gained confidence and felt more comfortable in my dives than ever before. The two weeks of training were intense, full of unforgettable moments, challenges, and laughter. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to share this journey with. We had the best safety, energy, and the incredible experience of diving in beautiful cenotes. Becoming an instructor wasn’t just about passing a course - it was about pushing past limiting doubts and discovering what I was capable of. I left the course feeling extremely happy, proud, and accomplished."
