We did the fun freediving day trip with my partner with who we’ve been practising freediving lately with each other. We wanted to try it with a professional who can help us with the right technique etc. and also make me feel more comfortable when diving in deeper water. Tatiana, the instructor, has very calm personality and from the first moment she made us feel relaxed. In the water, we both learnt a lot: technique wise, learnt to breathe & relax and hold our breath more effortlessly and were able to dive deeper than before. Definitely recommend practising with Tatiana if possible!

Tatiana was an amazing teacher!! She was very observant of your techniques and gave good tips to improve yourself. I also thought it was great that she didn’t repeat things if you had clearly understood them but did always repeat important aspects such as recovery breathing. She was a calming presence in the water which helped me really relax and perform better. And last but not least she made the lessons fun!
It was also very easy to communicate with Tatiana and it was really easy to pick a date for the course. Her school is easy to find and I liked the classroom setup and the cat was an added bonus. The open water session was also really well organised and fun to do!
All in all it was a really fun course given by Tatiana and I would definitely recommend doing your freediving course here!

If you’re thinking of freediving in Vietnam then there is only one option. Tatiana at Deep People. She is extremely experienced, the highest qualified freediving instructor in Nha Trang. As far as I know all the other freediving instructors in Nha Trang were taught by her. Tatiana can train for all levels of freediving and she is a Freediving Instructor Trainer. So you know you are going to be with the best of the best.
Tatiana is a true professional and she is really passionate about freediving. She is calming, patient, clear in communication and observant. I used to be a SCUBA diving instructor so I understand the industry and how to tell a good instructor from a bad one, Tatiana is one of the greatest.
I completed level 2 with Tatiana at Deep People and I also joined her for fundiving afterwards. I was able to set new personal bests with her guidance in static apnea and constant weight. Thank you Tatiana. I will be going back soon to continue my learning and fundiving.
Do the right thing, dive Deep People.

My son and I took the level 1 certification course with Tatiana. She’s a great and patient teacher! She’s very encouraging, sweet, and fun to talk to.
We had some scheduling issues due to sickness during our trip and we had to cancel our second open water session. But Tatiana worked with us to make sure my son was able to get his certification on the last day of our trip.
The only thing I would note is that if you don’t have any prior experience freediving you should plan at least one extra open water session for practice. But you’ll probably want to do that anyway because diving is so fun.
Thank you Tatiana!

I did my SSI Level 2 Course with Tatiana. I had emailed her in December to inquire about freediving with her, and because she followed up with me, I decided to come and give freediving in Nha Trang a try. This is the only place in Vietnam at the moment that has a freediving school.
Tatiana was patient with my concerns when I told her I was a slow learner and wanted her to observe and assess me first before deciding whether she is confident to take me on as her student. So I started with two coaching dives with her. On the second day, she told me that I was ready to do my Level 2 course. Tatiana is professional, patient, gentle, and kind as an instructor; the kind you would want to teach you freediving because in freediving we consistently come face to face with our own fears, insecurities, and doubts about our abilities. She had so much faith in me that caused me to also believe in myself, and we celebrated each of my achievements. She troubleshooted with me issues about my equalization and helped me figure out how to Frenzel better. She is also very humble and lovely to know as a person and I enjoy her friendship.
I would highly recommend Deep People Freediving School for training/coaching dives and for Level 1 or 2 courses. Tatiana is a good and experienced teacher and you're in safe hands with her. I also experienced very good visibility during one of my dives, up to about 18 meters. We are always dropped off at scuba diving sites, so there are always interesting things (creatures, rock formations, caves etc) to see even as we make our way to deeper parts of the ocean.
I would like to add that with Tatiana, I experienced my longest first urge to breathe ever at 1 minute 20 seconds to 40 seconds, when it usually comes for me at 50 seconds. I was able to relax under her guidance where she explored with me different relaxation techniques to help me relax. I also enjoyed very much learning about the dive reflex at the dive shop (dipping my face into water and watch my heartrate fall by half) and our time at the swimming pool together.

I did my first free diving course with Tatiana from Deep people and I loved it! Definitely going diving with her again :) it's a two day course: first day theory and poolsession which went really quick and the second day a boat trip out to the hon mun marine park for two dive sessions. the water was really clear and warm and Tatiana was very patient and helpful!

My girlfriend and I signed up for a 2-day Level 1 freediving course.
We had zero experience with freediving and Tatiana walked us through everything patiently.
We learned all the necessary theory in the classroom, practiced it in the pool and applied it to our diving in the ocean. All the necessary equipment was provided and we were taught how to choose our own equipment. It was amazing to learn how our bodies work under water.
Thanks to Tatiana we now have all the basic techniques and confidence to go further with freediving! Thank you! :)

If your going to spend a few days in Nha Trang, put this at the top of your list!
An alternative and much more rewarding experience to scuba diving, especially in Vietnam.
This was probably my most memorable and enjoyable experience whilst exploring the country.
I would recommend the Lvl 1 course to absolutly everyone regardless of age and fitness.
Freediving does have its dangers if practiced improperly and the instructors Tatiana and Alexandra, both extremely experienced and approachable, made me feel safe and relaxed the entire time.
I have wanted to learn to freedive for a long time and feel so lucky to of found Deep People freediving, they provide an extremely personal experience with small group sizes that really set them apart from other schools I have looked at.
I could not recommend them more highly.
