Freediving UAE is the best thing I’ve came across since I am in Dubai in 5 years. Apart from getting professional trainings for Freediving from Yuryi who is an excellent coach, Freediving UAE became part of my family now. I strongly recommend them if you want to start freediving for a professional level or just for fun.

Truly recommend Freediving UAE if you are looking to pursue this sport or already an experienced freediver. Yuriy is an AIDA instructor/founder of Freediving UAE, with years of experience. Big thanks to you for all the knowledge and skills! I finished AIDA 2 certification with the help of Yuriy and all the amazing people who dive in Fujeirah every weekend. Apart from getting certified, I also gained a little club of enthusiastic divers who are so passionate about the sport that they inspire me to do better!

I founds Freediving UAE after doing extensive research on freediving courses. This is THE place to learn to freedive. Yuriy is not only skilled and highly knowledgeable, he is also absolutely passionate and will hook you both to diving and his wicked sense of humour!
Trainings are fun yet technical and well supervised. You can improve very fast thanks to Yuriy's knowledge, the regular trainings, and the group of more experienced divers who are supportive and generous in sharing advice. I trained both in the pool and at sea to get certified. Every training felt like I learnt a lot and improved both my technique and love for the practice.
Beyond that, the sense of community Yuriy has created is truly magical: I felt like I was part of a family within a few minutes of meeting everyone. The Pirates group will welcome you with open arms and make you laugh above and under the sea (recommended to take your snorkel off first)!
I can't wait to be back very soon, and would recommend it to anyone!

Learning Freediving with Freediving UAE has been the best experience I have had this year. It has testing my mind and body and taken me on some really fun and mesmerizing trips.
Freediving UAE are very methodical and Yuri is able to say exactly the right thing to correct my technique and foster my progress.
I can certainly recommend Freediving UAE.

I've been training with Freediving UAE over a year now (off and on) and I have to say Yuri and his program is very professional and consistent. I attended the AIDA Level 2 course as well as static training, dynamic training training and of course the weekend depth training. The website is easy to use with quick booking and I've bought a number of things from the merchandise store. I look forward to training more with everybody because they are a great group.

I've been training with Freediving UAE for some time now, and it's honestly been a blast. Yuriy is the heart and soul of the place. He's not just teaching you the skills and techniques you need; he really connects with the sport and his students. I've learned a lot and had a great fun along the way. If you're keen on freediving, I'd say give Freediving UAE a go and definitely check in with Yuriy

To be fair, I truly enjoyed the class, the instructor was awesome and I learned the basic of freediving and was planning to do AIDA 2 with the same team however.......
Five months have passed, I am still waiting for my AIDA 1 Certificate. I guess I will not be getting it from the team anytime soon and will redo the whole training somewhere out of the country and will make sure next time I’ll get the credentials 😬😬😬😬

Traveled from Lebanon to Dubai with my dive buddy and it turned out to be the best experience i could have imagined. Met up with the incredible locals who share the love for this sport and they showed huge support in fixing the boat trips and taking us to the best diving spots across town. Cant wait till i get another opportunity to revisit. if your looking to free dive a whole bunch of amazing shipwrecks or spearfish some really nice game this place should be your next destination.

I took AIDA 2 course, Yuriy was very informative about the course and instructions as well as the safety which was very important to me. I felt very comfortable with him as I knew he is a certified instructor and a freediving judge which made me feel I am in good hands, the open water dive was great we met in another emirate to complete it.
All in all I am very happy with my new hobby and can safely practice it. He also organizes weekly training which is pretty awesome!!!!
