I took the three-day Survival Apnea (for Surfers) course taught by Augusto. It was incredible! Augusto is kind, patient, clear with his instructions, and he has extensive experience with the subject matter. He did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable, e.g. he took the time to learn everyone's name before the class even started. He was careful to help everyone push their limits but only in positive ways that kept everyone feeling safe and comfortable. By the end of the course everyone was laughing and having a great time learning the subject.

The class had a mix of native English and native Spanish speakers. Augusto did an amazing job of giving smooth bilingual instruction, taking time to repeat important points in both languages. Impressive!

I'm SO glad I took this course. I feel much more confident in the water already, and I will only improve by using the training techniques that Augusto taught us.

Thanks Augusto, you rock!

Augusto Carrara is the one you need to know if you have relationship with the sea. For surfing, diving, big waves, or just improve your performance with your body and mind.
Plenty of things make this experience unique, don't miss it.

This course is a life saver. If you want to become more comfortable in the water, in a pool, surfing, on a boat, deep diving, snorkeling or really just in life, this course is for you. And if you are already super comfortable in the water like I was and just want to know about the physiology behind free diving and breath holding, the course is fascinating. To top it off, the instructor is super interesting, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. This is one of the best things I’ve done since moving to Costa Rica 18 months ago.

This two day course did not only teach me about freediving, the culture, the techniques and how to breath, it also gave me a lot of inspiration on how I'd like to work on myself and my daily breathing! While in the pool on our second day I noticed how important it is while freediving to be mentally strong and that is something that I want to practise too while getting my breathing better. Very inspiring and Augusto was a great teacher - I can highly recommend everyone to do this course!
