“What an amazing crew, helpful, supportive and a great place to stay. Excellent set up for learning all you need to know to complete a “safe” dive. Nothing was too much trouble, from the correct fitting fins to extra help with equalising.
Mike the owner was such a cool guy, always around to help divers and Veronika 10/10 with her instructing..
My accommodation was beautiful and literally a five minute walk from getting off the boat/ ferry…and situated right behind the freedive training pool.. super convenient to be right on site. Yoga twice a day. I liked it so much I would stay there again even if I wasn’t diving.”

“Could not wish for a better freediving experience… The instructors are well experienced and professional. Chris guided me through every stage in a nice pace, provided underwater video analysis and always made sure I was secure.
I started with zero free dive experience and in the end walked away with a 3min10sec PR in breathold and easily diving 15m+ in open water. Happy with the result and can’t wait to be back for more”

“Freedive Gili and all of its instructors are some of the best people you will meet, in and out of the water. They are so professional, friendly and made our trip to Gili Trawangan unforgettable. Their dive boat is so spacious and picks you up just a couple of steps across the road on the beach.

The dive sites and the conditions were the best we have ever dove in before, and we felt nothing but safe & supported by both the boat captains and the instructors. The pool facilities, yoga shala and healthy cafe make this freediving centre world class. If you’re thinking about booking a course here, don’t hesitate. We already can’t wait to be back!”

“The Freedive Gili dive shop is really nice with amazing facilities. I got incredible training from Veronika who made me feel very safe at all times during the sessions. I loved every minute of the course and would highly recommend to everyone”

“I completed my Freedive Level 1 in July. It was amazing, Chris the instructor was so knowledgeable and provided all the info in a really detailed but easy to understand manner. I was also super nervous in the water at first, but the diving team made you feel safe and comfortable. Would use this training centre again in a heartbeat.”

— Alfie, South Africa

“Chris is an enthusiastic and patient freediving instructor. He took the time to answer all my questions and tried multiple ways to unlock my head-down equalization during our open water session. Coming from scuba diving, Molchanovs takes you much farther into the diving world in terms of theoretical knowledge and control of your body. I couldn't imagine a better place to learn freediving in a safe environment.”

— Fabian, France

“Had an amazing time doing my Wave 2 course with Veronika. She is a great instructor with lots of patience and provides excellent feedback with video analysis of your dives to help improve your technique. Couldn’t ask for better facilities, instructors or diving conditions. Hope to go back soon!”
