This was a really great course and Oliver is a great teacher- passionate about the sport and the ocean. I was able to increase my breath hold from about a minute to 3 minutes and dove down to 20 m. The class is designed in a way to ease you into the longer breath hold and deeper depths, which helps to make it seem less intimidating. Aside from learning the techniques to help my diving, the safety skills were invaluable. Oliver wants to make sure everyone is having fun, pushing themselves, but doing so safely. I would recommend this course to anyone who spends time in the water! Thank you Oliver for a great weekend:)

Hello, here is a short review of the class... In one word, AWESOME! I thought Oliver was a great instructor. His emphasis on safety, his professionalism and humor made the class very enjoyable. I couldn't ask for a better instructor. The classes information was top notch, it also made me realize how risky my diving was in the past. In the future, I look forward to making the next step to Level 2. Thanks for everything...

Great course! The class was great. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I feel way more comfortable and safe now. I have a free diving trip to the Bahamas coming up and I'm pumped to try my new techniques and go deeper get some bigger fish... safely! Oliver is a great teacher/coach amd made it relaxed and comfortable which made it easy to learn. And I had a lot to learn! If you free dive and have never taken the level 1 course, you need to if you want to be safe and guarantee you get back from every trip alive.

Hello, I just wanted to take this time to give you a review of the recent level 1 course I took with Oliver Haroun at Florida Freedivers July 26-27. Oliver was a wonderful instructor that was extremely knowledgeable and safety oriented. I have been free diving for over 20 years and learned a wealth of new knowledge to better my skills. I was very impressed with the class and even more impressed with Oliver's passion for diving. One thing I think that could be added to the curriculum is a section on the importance of respecting our oceans and the fisheries in it. I am looking forward to taking the level 2 course in the future and will absolutely be taking it with Oliver. Thank you,

I had a great time taking the Level 1 class! Oliver's enthusiasm for the sport made the two days that much more fun. The structure of the class took a lot of the apprehension away because you built up to each challenge. At the end of the class a lot of people wanted to know what they could do next because they had enjoyed the experience so much. Aside from thinking about taking Level 2 there were a lot of numbers being exchanged to organize future group diving trips.
