The entire learning process was filled with laughter, pleasant and stress-free. Even in such a relaxed and comfortable class environment, Yan-Ting never forgot to remind us of the importance of safety awareness.

If you want to learn and enjoy freediving properly, and also want to learn content beyond what certification agencies offer, I absolutely recommend Yan-Ting. Even if you don’t want that, I’d still recommend Yan-Ting because his teaching is just so engaging and fun.

Student Ash

Rather than whether you pass the certification, the instructor cares more about whether you enter the water safely and whether you truly relax and feel the joy of freediving. I found this to be the most reassuring aspect of the learning process!

The instructor also hopes that everyone doesn’t just learn freediving, but can truly get to know the ocean and shares many experiences. The instructor is very patient and encouraging, truly a reassuring presence in the water 🥹 I wholeheartedly recommend Yan-Ting instructor

Student Xiang-Ling

During the teaching process, he patiently waits for everyone to adjust before moving to the next step. He also cares about students’ diving conditions and dynamically adjusts the approach.

Under Yan-Ting’s instruction and guidance, you can learn to play safely in the ocean with peace of mind and without pressure, become aware of your body during diving, learn to enjoy the ocean, learn freediving, and fall in love with freediving. I recommend everyone to learn diving with Yan-Ting.

Instructor Introduction

Instructor / Founder
Yen-ting

In 2022, he left his tech industry job and traveled to Israel to train under the legendary freediving master Aharon Solomons for his instructor certification. In 2023, he became a full-time freediving instructor, continuing to promote learning freediving at the most comfortable pace and in the most natural way.

Passionate about sharing freediving knowledge, his teaching is enthusiastic and engaging while maintaining patience. Beyond freediving instruction, he continues to advance his own skills to provide students with the safest and most professional learning experience.

Freediving is a way of life. Through freediving, I practice self-awareness, learn to focus and practice mindfulness, and better understand my body and consciousness.
