About the School & the Island
Siquijor, the mystical and nature island of the Philippines,
is a place where discovery, adventure and beauty never ends.
Our school lives here, where sea meets mystical land.
How To Get Here
We are located on the southwest part of Siquijor Island in Maite, San Juan. We recommend you fly into Dumaguete airport (DGT) and take the OceanJet Fast Ferries to arrive in Siquijor town.
Visit the OceanJet Ferries website for the schedule.
From there ask any tricycle driver to bring you to the Siquijor Freediving school at Republika Beach Bar. From Siquijor town, this will cost about 400 pesos.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us!
About the School

Whether you want to discover freediving, prepare for a world-class competition or learn to become an instructor, we have you covered. We offer courses and training in English, French, Italian and Spanish.
At Siquijor Freediving we train hard, but we also have fun and include activities like breathwork, yoga, dancing, meditation, strength training and even spearfishing!
