Open apnea course

Summary: Lanzarote is a great location to learn to freedive--the weather is sunny and warm but not humid, the viz is good all year round (~20m), and a deep ocean (>100m) is right at your doorstep (ok, so you won't go >100m when you just started learning of course, but it's nice to have the option :p). I did the AIDA 2 course with Sergio and it was a great experience! He was patient and relaxed when teaching equalisation and other freediving techniques and constantly gave me feedback on things to improve on. You definitely want to have a patient instructor if you are a newbie! He was also flexible and accommodating with the schedule so I was able to split up the 2.5 days of the course over a week and do other things that I had planned in between. Sergio also very kindly helped me arrange to get the medical certification I needed for the course! The sports facility we used is well-maintained and close to the ocean. Here there is a lot of space to do breathing exercises, pool sessions, and maybe most importantly, you can easily get your coffee or tea (espresso for Sergio) at the lovely bar beside the pool. :)
