Kaizen Freediving Koh Tao Thailand

I’ve trained over the span of a month at Kaizen and got my Advanced free diving certification. I trained with Lana, Sergey, Akshay and Ilya during the time and I can just warmly recommend it. Besides PADI certification courses we also did fun dives, line and pool training as well as plenty of dry exercises and theory which helped me greatly to stay underwater longer, dive greater distances and go deeper. The location of the school is convenient, close to both pool and the sea, the room for theory classes is nice and comfortable, it has AC and plenty of useful training equipment educational material. There’s good diving equipment as well that you can borrow. You can see that people you interact with are genuinely interested in helping you to learn and improve. I was taught on an individual basis with a lot of patience and care. Especially an emphasis on all safety related matters is apparent which made me feel comfortable to push my own boundaries and also confident to be able to assist someone else in case of an emergency. The time at Kaizen made diving so much more interesting and fun to me. Thank you for creating this great institution of learning and athletic endeavors 🙏

I made my level 1 freediving course there and it was great. Some of the exercises were in the pool close to the center and the other not too far from the shore. The groups are very small, just 2-3 people. I was even alone with the instructor for the first 2 days. So I felt very safe and supported. I can only recommend it :)

I spent with Kaizen more than a year, coming as absolutely zero and becoming as a freediving instructor at the end. I have a lot of doubts during my courses, things that I don't have a talent or anything for this sport. But, what my instructors teach me - the most important is contagious trainings and this small steps that you do to become better! I can highly recommend Kaizen school and wish all newcomers never give up, because you can do it, even 32 meters deep! Big hugs to Platon, Akshay, Lana and Sergei! This people make you work and believe in yourself.
