Review#Personalized instruction, no pressure: classes feel like playing in the water
Hermione, an experienced diver in both scuba and freediving, found herself stuck in a freediving plateau and decided to seek out a highly-rated professional instructor for Freediving in Xiaoliuqiu certification.
The course began with fundamental physics and biology, then progressed to various diving concepts, building a logical foundation that proved incredibly helpful for the practical sessions, making it easier to master each movement and technique.
With encouragement from Coach Qianqian, Hermione successfully held her breath for 3 minutes and 2 seconds, achieving a new personal best. Although she struggled with equalization, the coach patiently introduced over three different equalization methods, using various small tricks to guide her.
The entire process felt incredibly comfortable and relaxed. The coach paid close attention to detail, explaining each lesson thoroughly without creating any pressure, and constantly checked on the students' physical and mental well-being while at sea. This not only provided a strong sense of security but also made the exploration truly joyful. As the coach emphasized, diving should be a happy experience, and learning it in the most relaxed and enjoyable way is the true essence of the sport!

Review#Your Top Pick for Land, Sea, and Air Adventures
Alma was a complete beginner at Freediving in Xiaoliuqiu, having only had scuba diving experience before. Ofucos's instructors, with over 10 years of extensive freediving experience, transformed complex theory into easily understandable lessons for Alma. They were also incredibly friendly, making the learning experience relaxed and comfortable.
During the afternoon's confined water session, the instructor showed immense patience, continuously guiding Alma to perfect her movements, which better prepared her for the upcoming open water training.
Throughout the three open water sessions, the instructor patiently demonstrated and explained solutions for every challenge Alma faced, whether it was equalization issues, difficulties with duck dives, or seasickness.
Alma found the experience of pushing her limits in this freediving course incredibly rewarding and fun! If you love challenging yourself, choosing Ofucos will be a decision you won't regret!
