What is freediving?
Freediving also called breath-hold diving or Apnea, is diving on a single breath of air without the use of artificial breathing equipment. It is the most natural way to explore the underwater world. With Apnea Koh Phangan Freediving School you will learn HOW TO DO IT.
Without any breathing apparatus, you are no longer just an observer, you are part of the Ocean. When freediving you are closer to marine life. Without bulky equipment, noise and bubbles that come with scuba you become just another aquatic creature.
(Touch to flip)
Freediving is connected to many other activities such as snorkeling, spearfishing, synchronized swimming and other water sports, as well as yoga and meditation. It is a journey to discover not only the Ocean but also your inner self.
Anyone can enjoy freediving regardless of age or fitness level, given the right knowledge and practiced with the correct safety procedures.
Learn to train your body and mind to dive with confidence and comfort. Dive to depths you never imagined possible.
Join us for a truly personal experience and discover your true potential.

Sail Rock
Freediving is best served in open water
You won’t be wasting time in swimming-pool or in class listening to boring theory or solving pointless written exams!
FREEDIVING IS BEST SERVED IN OPEN WATER !
At Apnea Koh Phangan we always dive on Sail Rock, which is the best dive site in Gulf of Thailand. It takes 1h ride by boat to get there and this time we use for theory.
Sail Rock is a pinnacle which rises to 15m above and 40m below the surface and is situated half-way between Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Since it is far away from the islands, it is a haven for marine life with abundance of fish and corals. You can find there giant groupers, schools of chevron barracudas, great barracudas, queenfish, jacks, trevallies and more. This is also one of the best spots in the world to see the whale sharks with over 100 days of sightings in 2017 alone!
Every training session is finished with fundive. This gives YOU the opportunity to enjoy their newly acquired skills right on the spot. We have always camera with us so we will capture your best moments underwater.
The best diving course I have been on (…) Cannot recommend this professional company enough, if you are thinking about doing a course but aren’t really sure, just do it!! You will surprise yourself like I did…

Freediving at Sail Rock always was a blast, the location the school visits is one of the best in the area. And with the whalesharks perhaps the best!
Frederic, Belgium
Thanks a lot for this two days course it was amazing […] again thanks a lot. We didn’t expect that was so easy but with very good teachers everything is easy. Amazing experience!!!!
Benoit, France
Hands down one of the best experiences I ever had. Lukas and Tom were very helpful and knowledgeable trainers. While having fun I managed to reach 20m without previous free diving experience. Highly recommended.
Vassilis, Greece
I done the two day training, all the instruction was super clear, and easy to understand! The training is well pitched to beginners, and was great fun! I wish I was staying on the island longer!!
Garry, UK
…They had me diving to 20 meters on my second day, feeling safe and relaxed throughout. Can’t recommend it enough. I’ve been around the water my whole life but you just don’t know what you don’t know. It’s well worth it.
