“
It’s one of the most powerful, magical, meditative, connected things that I’ve ever done in my life. I dream about it all the time.

Once you learn, it feels like you have a superhuman ability — even though it’s just a human ability that we’ve forgotten.

About us

  • Audrey Yang
    Instructor
    hi, I'm Audrey! I'm a PFI, NAUI and SSI certified Freediving Instructor based in San Francisco.

    Back in the days of legal abalone diving, some friends and I were completely thwarted by bad ocean conditions during a "dive for abalone" Groupon. I took it personally, so I signed up for a freediving class.

    In the decade since then, I've enjoyed a great deal of foraged seafood and "aggressively snorkelled" all over the world. While I scuba almost as much as I freedive, freediving lets me explore remote places that don't have scuba infrastructure, or where it's hard to bring scuba gear.

    I became an instructor so that I could find more safe freediving buddies. You can be one too!

    hi, I'm John! I'm an AIDA, PADI and SSI certified Freediving Master Instructor based in San Francisco.

    People don't realize it because we don't have a tropical climate, but there are beautiful conditions for freediving in the Bay Area. Deep calm lakes for those who are into freediving for healing and meditation, and the wild Pacific Ocean for those who want to swim with sea lions, forage for uni and catch ling cod.

    You dont need to be a strong swimmer, or be sporty or athletic. Freediving is not about struggle, it is about relaxing and slowing down. See you underwater!
