Freedive Nusa - Lombok & Gili Islands
The team at Freedive Nusa are, quite simply, obsessed with making you a better freediver. We’ve sent a few friends their way, and the feedback is always the same: patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. They’ve cornered the market on high-level training in the Gilis, offering everything from Molchanovs to SSI instructor courses, but they’re equally brilliant with beginners. Our pick for anyone serious about depth or just wanting to finally nail their equalisation. What we really appreciate about Freedive Nusa is their holistic approach. It's not just about ducking underwater; they weave in workshops on Mouthfill, No-Fins, even Watsu, which we found surprisingly effective for relaxation and breathwork. It’s a proper campus vibe, with a dedicated pool for technique drills before you even hit the ocean. When you do get out, the water around the Gilis is usually warm and clear, often 28-29°C, and we’ve had sessions where the visibility felt endless, 25 meters plus, letting you really focus on your form against that perfect blue. Go early in the morning for the calmest surface conditions and the best chance of spotting turtles cruising past the lines. We also love that they offer 'Freediving for Surfers' – a smart crossover that’s proving really popular.
