Testimonials

Ryan is an amazing instructor!

I've been doing pool training with him for a couple of weeks now, both in a

group and privately, and my technique has improved so much!

Training with Ryan has honed my freediving skills but also increased my awareness

of what happens in my body during breathhold.

He is so knowledgeable and passionate and makes you feel safe above all.

I have honestly never come across anyone who is so thrilled to see

his students improve and push past a barrier.

I would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone who wants to start their

freediving journey or improve their knowledge and performance.

— Nina Rothe

Having enjoyed many group pool freedive training sessions generously facilitated by Ryan, and witnessing his passion for the discipline, plus his skill in guiding others to achieve results,

I decided to hire him to coach me briefly before my first pool freedive competition.

I can honestly say that his gentle guidance and skilled observation assisted me greatly,

not only within that session, but on the day of the competition,

(which he so supportively attended) and beyond.

Ryan is a phenomenal coach, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone wishing to deeply connect to themselves and the discipline of freediving.

— Amanda Foulkes

I’ve started freediving a year ago and it has been a roller coaster for me…

I chose to learn freediving because I love the mental health side that helps you to take this as your own therapy.

Ryan has been there every week since then, he is committed with us, twice a week, not matter what.

One of the most important qualities that a instructor must have is his sense of humanity, Ryan is the best in my eyes , you are not a number or another client in his business, you are his buddy and he will teach you with compassion and kindness.

He will always give you the time to explore your limits and get comfortable.

He will always listen to you and help you with different techniques to achieve where you would like to progress.

Safety and trust before diving…

Ryan takes the time to meet you and help you, that’s is remarkable and what make his training so different.

My journey will be so different without his knowledge and help.

Learning freediving with Ryan is the best opportunity you could ever experience to start your journey.

Thank you so much Ryan for being such an amazing instructor.

Ryan is a very competent Freedive trainer.

He helped me personally reach my goals at the time of 100m DYN.

He has a great depth of knowledge, coupled with coaching abilities that enable

him to guide you in the murky waters of your personal freedive journey.

He gives the right balance of encouragement & support to get the most out of your abilities,

so you can reach your genetic envelope & he certainly did that with me.

Highly recommend him.

Ryan from Beyond Depth Freediving is the master. He clearly explains the procedure for each session (on the line or free diving) and ensures everyone is comfortable and prepared. He gently guides the novice and more experienced diver alike and makes sure everyone is having a dive they will always remember. He’s a great photographer too which makes sure the memories live forever. Thanks so much Ryan. I’ll be back!!
