The Pacific Freediver Team.

The Heart and Soul of Pacific Freedive Academy

At Pacific Freedive Academy, our dedicated and passionate team is what truly sets us apart. Two ocean-loving founders, Martin and Michele, have come together to share their enthusiasm for life on the enchanting island of Gili Air.

Mitch and Martin, our seasoned instructors, have a wealth of experience under their weightbelts! 😉 Mitch brings his expertise from teaching with Freedive Family, one of Australia's largest Freedive organisations, and instructing at deep week events. Meanwhile, Martin, having previously worked at the former largest Freedive center in Gili Air, joins forces with Mitch to reignite the island's passion for the sport and lifestyle. Together, they've created a welcoming haven for freediving enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Navigating our journeys is our skilled boat crew, Hatip and Umam. They expertly steer our beloved boat, Yemanjá, ensuring each trip is safe and enjoyable for our divers exploring the depths.

Together, our team at Pacific Freedive Academy is dedicated to making your freediving experience unforgettable. With a friendly, positive, and inviting atmosphere, we can't wait to welcome you into our island family and share the magic of Gili Air and the joys of freediving with you.
