ABOUT

After 12 years of exploring the Maltese Islands, FREEDIVING DOJO was born. It offers a range of PFI courses and certifications from beginner to instructor as well as recreational freediving in Malta, Gozo and Comino. Gozo is a beautiful little island where you can relax and enjoy the southern Mediterranean climate. Water temperatures reach over 30° Celsius in summer and a minimum of 15° during the colder months. Gozo has become the home of many freedivers and perhaps your next holiday or training destination. If you want to discover, learn, improve your aquatic skills, you are in the right place. Our PFI training courses are aimed at everyone.

 

 

My freediving journey started when I was 11 and continued at the Blue School with Pierre Frolla from 2009 to 2013 where I got my first CMAS freediving instructor certification.

Inspite I initiated many people coming to Gozo, I waited to create my own school untill I join Performance Freediving International. I came across PFI when Matt a bjj student and technical diver connected me to this organisation based in Florida. I went through the online courses to start and really liked it, passed the exams that led to the creation of my freediving school.

In the meantime the freediving community developped in Gozo.

Also my encounter with Michel Nox few years before was already pushing me toward that direction. To make the story short Michel’s videos were going viral in France and beyond (even in the USA). Exploring shipwrecks at depth ranging from 40 to 100 meters, on a single breath, holding a home made selfie stick… Who doesn’t know Michel would be really amazed by his videos… and his human approach. You can have a look on his Nox Diving Youtube channel.

Beyond becoming a freediving legend Michel Nox always took action for the Oceans cause.
