Learn How to Freedive in Bali, Indonesia

"I had the most incredible experience learning freediving here!
Charles was my instructor dor Wave1 and Wave2, and he’s great! highly qualified and a true expert.
His classes were fun, dynamic, and I felt completely safe the entire time.
Charles has a serious focus on safety, which really helped build my confidence and allowed me to push through my mental and physical barriers to reach my goals!

Each dive left me feeling so happy, facing my fears and discomfort to go a bit farther each time was such an accomplishment!
This course taught me to truly relax and connect with myself in a way I hadn’t before. (I didn’t even know i was able to 😅)

Plus the dive spots were stunning—right out of Uluwatu. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in freediving, and I’ll definitely be back for my Wave 3 course!"

"It’s rare you come across a place that offers great facilities, great instructors and great people. Aquatic apes has all three in abundance.

Super knowledgeable and passionate about the pursuit of freediving as well as sharing that passion with everyone that jumps onto the boat, it has been an incredible few weeks and I am eternally grateful for both the opportunity, guidance but most of all community that Charles, Evan and Lenny have created. It’s testament both to their professionalism and personalities to have created such an awesome environment.

If you are looking for somewhere to start freediving or a community to train with and further yourselves - sit back and relax the search is over!"

"Who would have expected to have such amazing conditions line diving and spearing in Uluwatu?! 20+ meters visibility and awesome coaching by Charles. Really improved my technique and relaxation. Cant recommend the guys from Aquatic Apes more. Both Evan and Charles are very considerate and thoughtful. Good mix of fun, safety and shenanigans.
Thanks Charles and Evan for such a good two weeks."

"I just finished my Wave 1 free diving course and had an amazing experience! I was a bit nervous as I didn’t have any prior experience but the instructor Charles was incredibly patient and attentive, making sure to explain everything clearly and at a pace that felt comfortable . I felt safe throughout the entire course, and I was amazed at how much I learned in such a short time. It was a lot of fun, especially the ocean trainings. Can't wait for the next class! Highly recommend to anyone looking to get started or improve their skills"

"I completed my Wave 1 Freediving course with Aquatic Apes, and it was an incredible experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone curious about freediving—or even scuba diving!

My instructor, Charles, was outstanding. He created a safe and supportive environment throughout the course, offering valuable tips to help me improve. What stood out most was his patience; he never pushed me beyond my comfort zone, which is so important in a sport like this. His approach made the entire experience enjoyable and left me excited to continue exploring and growing in freediving.

I can’t recommend Aquatic Apes enough! They’ve also built a welcoming and inspiring community of freedivers in Uluwatu that you’ll definitely want to be a part of."

Amazing freediving experience!

Evan and Charles are incredibly kind, patient, and skilled instructors. They explained the basics of freediving in a way that made me feel calm and confident underwater, helping me understand it better and easing any nerves.
Plus, it’s super convenient to reach from the main party areas. I’d absolutely return if I visit Bali again!
