I did the Intro to Free diving class with Luis and Leo. I had an amazing experience! After a lifetime of loving being in the ocean, snorkeling, scuba, and exploring diving down on my own I was looking forward to learning some more actual free diving techniques.

The course taught some foundational techniques of relaxation, meditation, stretching, equalization, mental techniques, breathing, and preparing for free diving.

I was able to learn to increase my breath holds to 2:25 and learn to do free Immersion and constant weight freediving to 60 feet, which I felt was a major accomplishment!

Luis was an excellent teacher, patient and calm, supportive and passionate about the sport. He knew just when to push me further so I could achieve 60 feet. I'm very grateful and would strongly recommend his freediving school to anyone curious about what freediving is all about.

Great school and Louis is a great teacher/instructeur. Had a really good time completing the AIDA2 course.

The first day of the course the sea was rough and hard to do some excercise. But Louis had a tailormade solution so we could still finish the course in 2 days.

I was reactional snorkel, under his guidence i became a freediver. Because of his teaching my static apneu went from 2 to 4 min and my dive dept went from 13m to 28m.

He teached me that freediving isn't holding your breath and suffering, but it is enjoying the moment and going into you mantra and how to do it safely. I now feel comfortable under water at a depth of 15 to 20m and staying there for a while to enjoy the marine life... and it is awesome!

Looking forward to do AIDA3 with Louis. Defently recommend.

I spent 8 life changing days diving with Luis.

As a relatively new freediver with most of my time spent line diving, I knew I was about to get a different experience. Luis was my guide to different dive sites around the island, but I didn't expect to learn how to feel more free in the ocean.

The way Luis approaches diving in the ocean, off the line, is an unique experience. He instills wisdom, and different perspective that has made me a better freediver. For example, I realized I could shorten my breath up time compared to what I've been used to doing while freediving on the line.

Luis also as a great eye for photography and helped me with some great gopro footage too.

I highly recommend spending some time freediving with Luis while visiting Bonaire.

I just finished my freediving course with Luis. I had an amazing time and he is an excellent instructor. There were suppose to be 2 of us in the class but the other person missed his flight and had to postpone his trip. Luis didn't cancel on me and continued the schedule. This was the only week that would have worked for me. That's a true professional. He worked through all of my rough parts and trained me in a way that was stress free and comfortable. I love his approach and felt very relaxed even though I was stressing about the class itself. I was soooo happy I chose Bonaire Freediving school with Luis. I'm looking forward to coming back soon after some additional training and going on some of his epic Free diving safari's. When choosing a free diving school- look no further than Bonaire Freediving School. I can't thank Luis enough for making this such a special experience for me. The Go Pro videos were great too. I have something to refer back to and remember the experience. Thank you:).

Fuimos a Bonaire (familia de 3) y contactamos a Luis para que fuera nuestro instructor. De inmediato sentimos su pasion y respeto por el Oceano. Durante el tiempo que estuvimos en su curso, compartio con nosotros sus conocimientos y fuimos honrados con lecciones magistrales de buceo. Mi hijo (nacido y crecido en Canada) quedo asombrado y emocionado con esta experiencia. Nosotros, de igual manera, impactados y complacidos con el tiempo que pasamos con Luis y muy satisfechos por lo aprendido.
Le agradecemos haber compartido con nosotros sus conocimientos y hacer de los dias que pasamos en Bonaire algo mas que unas simples vacaciones.
Si vuestro interes es el buceo, no duden en contratar a Luis.
No tengo palabras para agradecerle estos estupendos dias !
Hasta pronto Luis !

Just took the Freediving Introductory course with Luis and had a FANTASTIC time and learned so very much!!! We spent an hour or so discussing breathing, equalization and stretching techniques and overall theory. We then moved to the ocean and worked on breathing exercises. I was AMAZED how long I could hold my breath using the various techniques that we just reviewed. We then moved on to diving down to various depths with Luis's assistance. Each time he gave us feedback that helped us become more comfortable and safer with each dive. We also reviewed safety techniques if for some reason your buddy was in trouble. I was able to safely descend to depths I have never tried before while snorkeling!

The absolute Beauty of diving down into deeper water without the noise and complexity of Scuba gear was AMAZING!

Do yourself a favor and take this class, if you want to experience the underwater world in a new light.

Hopefully, I’ll be back nest year to take more classes from Luis!!!

We went three times to Bonaire in the last year. Each time we hired Luis to be our own private dive master and instructor. We did reactivate, advanced open water and peak performance buoyancy certifications with him. We know his main thing is free diving but he is one of the most experienced scuba teachers we have ever met. Also we found him to be extremely advanced about his physical and spiritual commitment to advancing this sport. I don’t know if he’s available but I highly recommend that you rent a pick up and hire Luis to guide you around the island doing shore dives if you can get him.

My family of 5 had a wonderful experience at an all-day freediving workshop with Luis. He is an excellent instructor and was very patient and good with our three young boys. All of us can now dive much deeper and more safely. Thanks again, Luis!
