Linea Braina Bernabe
First Time Freediver
I had my first ever freediving experience with them and it was great! Everyone was really kind and welcoming.
I did the Discovery Day course and Seb was a really good instructor! He was super patient, supportive and motivating. He made me feel comfortable and confident in the water.
10/10 would recommend. I’ll definitely come back when I’m in Siquijor again :)
Hannah Morris
Advanced Freediver
I first came to Siquijor Freediving in April 2025 for some coaching, I had such a great experience I knew it was the place to complete my Wave 2 - so came back in December to do this!
Amazing facilities, wonderful instructors and perfect conditions.
Cannot recommend enough!
Conor Churchill
Wave 1 Freediver
I came in as a complete beginner with zero breath-hold experience and left not just certified, but hooked on the sport.
If you're weighing up where to do your Molchanovs Wave 1 certification in the Philippines, Siquijor Freediving is the answer.
Honestly one of the best experiences I've had in the water. Five stars, no hesitation.
