Amazing experience freediving with instructor, Yuriy. He is calm,safe and very patient. I would highly recommend freedivinguae. Yuriy has got vast experience in freediving and great at explaining the theory and correct techniques of freediving. I particularly liked the video feedback post training session; found them to be extremely useful. I always wanted to do freediving, Im glad I started with freedivinguae. A big thank you for making it a worthwhile experience.…

Im a fairly seasoned freediver at an intermediate level who has dived in several places and I have to say freediving with Apnea Pirates aka Freediving UEA in Fujairah was surprisingly pleasant. The water condition in Nov was calm and temperature at 27-29 degC was great for a 1.5mm wetsuit. The highlight however was freediving with Yuriy who is very experienced and encouraged me to try new things to fine tune my technique. Most importantly, during my deep dives, Yuriy made me feel very safe and assured. Overall excellent experience and would recommend it to Freedivers of any level!…

I founds Freediving UAE after doing extensive research on freediving courses. This is THE place to learn to freedive. Yuriy is not only skilled and highly knowledgeable, he is also absolutely passionate and will hook you both to diving and his wicked sense of humour! Trainings are fun yet technical and well supervised. You can improve very fast thanks to Yuriy's knowledge, the regular trainings, and the group of more experienced divers who are supportive and generous in sharing advice. I trained both in the pool and at sea to get certified. Every training felt like I learnt a lot and improved both my technique and love for the practice. Beyond that, the sense of community Yuriy has created is truly magical: I felt like I was part of a family within a few minutes of meeting everyone. The Pirates group will welcome you with open arms and make you laugh above and under the sea (recommended to take your snorkel off first)! I can't wait to be back very soon, and would recommend it to anyone!…

Truly recommend Freediving UAE if you are looking to pursue this sport or already an experienced freediver. Yuriy is an AIDA instructor/founder of Freediving UAE, with years of experience. Big thanks to you for all the knowledge and skills! I finished AIDA 2 certification with the help of Yuriy and all the amazing people who dive in Fujeirah every weekend. Apart from getting certified, I also gained a little club of enthusiastic divers who are so passionate about the sport that they inspire me to do better!…
