Arrived in Dahab being AIDA ZERO STARS… Two week with Brian Crossland turned out to be one of my best vacations ever. From prompt emails in the beginning while booking courses up to perfect set up & organization of training in Dahab… - 9 out 10! Learning theory and practice was very comfortable, right at Brian’s house with 30m dedicated... More

I just came back from another trip to Dahab. The main objective for me was to complete AIDA 4* course. I accidently walk into freediving last January and fell in love with this sport. 4* is advanced level, therefore instructors for that level few and far between even in Dahab (Mecca of freediving). So after extensive research (all Thanks goes... More

Great Course Brian, and thanks for all you help with Equalisation . Regards Peter More

Brian is one of those rare natural teachers whose patience is infinite and whose passion and depth of knowledge transform your experience and learning. After free diving for several year I acheived more in two weeks with Brian than ever before. The depth, visibility and proximity of the dive sites in Dahab is unsurpassed. Truely the most majestic and education... More

The course is well structured and Bryan is a good teacher. He explained all the theory clearly and was patient and encouraging in the water. As others mention the 30m... More

Brian is an excellent instructor and teacher. So good that we had to ask if he had been a professional teacher before – which he had. He... More

Although I've been freediving for quite a while I've always had difficulty equalising but thanks to Brian's training tips and keen observations during my stay I more than doubled my pbs! Perhaps more importantly everything went like clockwork, from the taxi meeting me at the airport to the dives being organized and being shown around dahab. If you're thinking about... More

I did the 3 day Aida ** course with Brian a couple of weeks ago. While I personally found the course quite tough, Brian's patience and encouragement really paid off. I completed the course with no major hassles. Brian gave me plenty of time to take things at my own pace. His course materials were excellent. The equipment that I... More
