I cannot recommend Dumagat Freedive enough. I was told about the school by friends and I could instantly see why. Emil is a patient, very knowledgeable and skilled teacher. Not only did Emil do our Freedive level 1, he also took the time to workshop equalising with us before we even started. I have definitely been bitten by the free diving bug and look forward to doing my level 2 soon! Thank you Emil!

Highlight of our 2 months trip to the Philippines! I don't know where to start, everything about our freediving course with Emil was fantastic - I would give 10 stars if I could! Emil came by our hotel the night before to bring us our course material and from that moment on we knew we were in good hands. He took such good care of us, he really customized the course to our wishes and needs and did everything to make my girlfriend and I feel comfortable and safe in and outside the water. (He even improvised a nasal rinse for me since I was a little congested and had some problems to equalize.) In other freediving schools in the Philippines you get two 90min classroom lessons and two 90min water sessions in the course of two days. Emil instead really gave us the time we needed and in the end we spent three full days freediving and learning with him and the course day ended, when we were exhausted (but stoked) after a long water session. He's got so much love for this sport and the ocean and he really cares about you having a great time and making progress, without ever putting any pressure on you. We're so glad we went to Romblon, which was definitely one of our favourite islands in the Philippines and we're so glad, we got to meet Emil. He's a brilliant teacher, so much fun to hang out with (and share a beer with) and probably the nicest person we met in our 2 months in this beautiful country. I genuinely miss this guy and whenever I'm back in that area I will take my next freediving course at Dumagat Freedive. Thanks so much for everything - good luck for the search and see you soon, Emil! Servus
Master program to Level 2 Instructor. I never planned on becoming a freediving instructor, but after a few training sessions with Emil I was hooked.. Emil is passionate about the ocean and understands how we can connect to it and dive into ourselves when we freedive. Deep meditation. He is knowledgable and professional, and at the same time personal and patient. He is able to find the balance between pushing you to challenge yourself but not feeding the ego. I always felt safe, and trusted I was in good hands, which played a major role in gaining depth and attempting new personal bests. I could not have asked for a better experience and will always be grateful to Guruji
I recently did my level 1 freediving course with Emil and I couldn't recommend Dumagat Freedive enough. Emil is enthusiastic and knowledgable taking the time to ensure you get the most out of your course and giving you the tools to take your freediving further. I feel as though he went above and beyond what I expected during the course and I always felt very safe and comfortable. Roll on level 2!
I completed my Freediving Level 1 course with Dumagat and really recommend both the course and Emil as an instructor – his focus on safety was very reassuring and he helped me undo a few bad habits from SCUBA diving. I'm hooked and looking forward to doing my Level 2 in the near future!
I came to dumagat freedive to do my Level 1 and Level 2 SSI. It was an amazing experience where I learned loads and felt confident and safe and able to push my freediving to the next level. Can’t wait to go back and train some more .
We booked very last minute (sorry about that! ) and we're so happy with our experience. Instructor is very professional and funny, clear with instruction on something that is not so obvious to master. Very worth going to this school. Highly recommend! Thanks for a great day! We left wanting to learn more
I had the most beautiful experience learning to freedive with Emil as our coach and instructor. Each time we went out into the sea we always swam close to a turtle. Emil is a truly a fantastic instructor. He really cares about his students and goes above and beyond to ensure we safe, confident and having fun.
