Freedive Utopia - 77760 Tulum

I did the freediving course with Freedive Utopia and highly recommend it. The instructor, Esteban, was very personable, great at explaining the science behind free diving and really good at walking students through all the steps of a successful dive. Due to the small group size, students receive a lot of individual attention and feedback on their dives (some of them even filmed with GoPro), which is a great way to learn and progress. I also enjoyed that students arent put under any pressure, everyone progresses at their own pace, at all times I felt very safe in the water and the dive locations were top notch as well. It was truly a great introduction into freediving in all aspects.

I had a great freediving experience with Esteban. He offered complete and clear instructions and good equipment was included. Even though he is not a local, he has good connections and knows the most amazing spots for freediving in the area. Esteban always made me feel safe and secure while going down. Preparing for the dive is very important, to get into the right state of mind. My first dive with Esteban was at Angelita cenote and the second at Laguna Kaan Luum, and by the way the beauty of this place is indescribable, really a very nice place to relax. For sure next time I'm back in Tulum I will look for Esteban.

The introduction I got from Esteban into the world of freediving was great! It’s a step by step process in which he makes sure you never end up in an uncomfortable situation, even when you go further down as you ever did before. If our stay would have been longer, i would have extended my course with 2 days for sure!

Freediving in a cenote has been a bucket list item for a while, but checking it will leave me with a greater sense of accomplishment than I had ever imagined. I took the Freediver Course with Esteban, and was blown away by his knowledge, patience, and teaching talent.His focus on safety gave me the confidence to break beyond my (self-perceived) limits diving, and helped me achieve dive goals that I did not even think possible for myself! Esteban is also an extremely observant and personable teacher. I appreciated that he was able to provide specific and personalized advice to help me improve my dive experience and technique. I had high expectations for a freediving lesson/experience, and Esteban fully exceeded them. Thank you again, Freedive Utopia - for an incredible experience! I can't wait to come back and dive with you again soon!

Highly reccomended! We were seeking for a special experience that’s far from the mess tourism of Tulum. It was our first time free diving, but have done scuba before. It was a magical experience, we fell completely in love with meditation in the water. Esteban introduced us to 4 different breathing techniques and dived with us each time keeping an eye contact. He is such a gentle and zen soul, felt so easy to learn from him and feel safe. It was truly the highlight of our trip. El pit is great if it’s sunny around 1 pm for good photos. He also took a gropro video of us.

Met Esteban while he was teaching his students at Cenote Angelita, and instantly asked if he could teach me and my friend the day after. Freediving is such a fun and amazing experience. I overcame my fear of being in deep water thanks to the great instructor and coach Esteban!! Never expected to be this happy and content in water. He gave great feedback and good knowledge about freediving and just staying relaxed and calm in the water. Am definitely planning on doing more freediving, and hopefully get to take LVL 2 of freediving with Esteban!

There's a reason Esteban has all 5 stars. I've taken freediving before from someone else but didn't feel like I was getting all of the "whys" and "hows." But after doing one intro class with Esteban we decided to do a 3 day course and get our L1 certification with him. He has a wealth of knowledge and is amazing at recognizing small adjustments to dramatically improve my abilities. I loved the wide range of different cenotes he took us to on each day. Thank you Esteban!

We had a wonderful 3 day course with Esteban. The first day it was a bit scary but Esteban makes sure he does not rush and let you be comfortable first. He chose some beautiful cenotes for the diving and adjusted the program to personal needs. Next to that he makes some very cool video's. I would definitely recommend.
