TECHNICAL FREEDIVING CLINICS - 1 ON 1 MASTERCLASSES
You have passed your foundation courses, but now you have hit a plateau. This is exactly where most freedivers get stuck. You do not need another generic group course. You need a targeted breakdown of your specific mechanics.
These 1-day private clinics are designed to bridge that gap. We spend a full day working 1-on-1 to isolate and fix the exact roadblocks stopping your progression. You choose the focus, and we build a custom diagnostic day around it.
Frenzel Diagnostics
Stuck at 10 or 15 meters? It is almost always your equalization. We will spend our day stripping down your Frenzel technique, identifying exactly where you are losing pressure, and drilling dry and wet mechanics until it becomes automatic.
Duck Dive & Descent Clinic
A clumsy duck dive burns massive amounts of oxygen before you even start your descent. We will focus entirely on your entry, streamlining, finning technique, and weighting. Fixing this one movement completely changes how much bottom time you have.
Marine Safety & Open Water Confidence
Aimed at divers who feel anxious managing unpredictable conditions. Drawing on my background running risk management for TV and film, and my FREC medic training, we cover advanced safety protocols, current management, and buddy rescue scenarios so you can dive anywhere with total confidence.
Advanced Equalization (Mouthfill)
For divers looking to push past residual volume limits. We will break down mouthfill mechanics, managing air shifts, and keeping your chest relaxed when water pressure builds.
Depth Progression
If your mechanics are solid but you need expert supervision to safely push your personal best, we dedicate our session to custom line training, CO2 management, and relaxation under pressure.
Spearfishing and underwater foraging.
Who better to learn Underwater foraging from than the author of the best selling book ‘Underwater Foraging – Freediving for Food’. Join Ian on a private day exploring the cornish coast, hunting for food in a sustainable way. Its a great way to take your freediving in to a whole new realm.
My name is Ian Donald, and I run FreediveUK. As an AIDA instructor trainer (the highest tier) I have spent the last 20 years teaching adults and children how to hold their breath and dive comfortably. Outside of private tuition, my day-to-day work often involves managing aquatic safety and risk for film and TV productions, teaching actors, celebrities and stunt crews how to freedive. I am also the Author of the best selling book ‘Underwater foraging – freediving for food’. When you book private tuition with me, you are paying for top-tier safety, un-matched experience, and undivided attention. We only move forward when you are completely comfortable.

Clinic Details
Pre-Course Planning Call
Before we meet up, we will jump on a quick 30-minute video call. This is just a chance to catch up, discuss your current roadblocks, and plan exactly how we are going to structure your chosen masterclass. Getting logistics and goals sorted early means we maximize our time in water.
Investment
A private 1-day technical clinic is £450. This covers your pre-course planning call, a full day of dedicated 1-on-1 water tuition, and custom dry drills you can take home to continue your progression.
Apply For Technical Coaching
Because my calendar is split between teaching and production work, I run an application process for all new private students to ensure we are a good fit before booking.
