who are we ?
apnea koh phangan freediving school
Apnea Koh Phangan Freediving School is the only center on Koh Phangan/Samui specialised in freediving. With over 25 years experience we are an accomplished team of freedivers and teachers, waiting to share our knowledge and passion for freediving.
The philosophy of the school is not to focus on depth or numbers but on enjoyment, relaxation and breathing.
We cater for each individual’s needs as everyone is different. With this approach progress is achieved faster and our students reach depth and goals they never believed could happen.
Rest assured that you are with instructors of the highest caliber that adhere to proper training standards and methods. We strive to keep our training standards high. Instructors are required to be with you at all times during dives, safety is priority and groups are kept very small. With maximum 3 students per instructor the training is very personal and progress is very fast.
We believe that freediving is for everyone and we pride ourselves on giving a personalized approach to our students.

sAil rock
Underwater Heaven
You won’t spend time in swimming-pool or in class listening to boring theory. Freediving is best served in open water!
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. 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 barracuas, great barracudas, queenfish, jacks, trevally’s 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!
