Apneists UK Reviews 

Excellent trip to Skjervoy, well organised and given a thorough briefing of how to prepare for the arctic. Friendly bunch, felt very welcome and had a great time.

A trip of a life time. Absolutely incredible from start to end. Thanks Steve and thr Team for this extraordinary experience in the arctic cycle and all the amazing people that were part of the group! Orcas, humpbacks, fin whale, northern lights, snow scapes, adventure, friendship. What else could one ask for? <3 Thank you so much.

I went on a trip with Steve to Norway to swim with orcas. I went with my dad and brother who have no dive experience, or their own gear. Steve has been nothing but helpful from start - finish. For months leading up to the trip, he has offered help and guidance to me and my family to ensure that we all get the most out of the trip and prepare properly to prevent any obstacles on the day of the dives. He is very experienced and can anticipate problems or mishaps before you know them yourself and will do his upmost to work with you to prevent it from happening. He has often picked up some passing remarks I have made about my kit / gear and the next day turns up with something that will help me, without me needing to ask. I seen him on the boat giving gear away and making other people comfortable before himself to ensure everyone is happy.

the trip in itself needs a whole other review. It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Within minutes / seconds of being on the boat I was in the water with orcas and at one point, surrounded my humpback whales. Not a minute went by where we didn’t see anything it was amazing, full of action and close encounters. I will go again in a heartbeat.

I recently completed an AIDA2 freediving course and it was an amazing experience! Steve tailored every aspect of the course (including flexible dates) to my needs, sharing his knowledge and passion for the ocean. I received plenty of personalised tips that really helped me improve. I finished the course feeling confident and inspired. I will definitely return for training dives, courses and trips!

Brilliant holiday. PBs made with expert guidance. Loved it !

Amazing trip with Steve and Apneists UK to freedive with the seals at the Farne Islands! Really pleased to have ticked this off my bucket list thanks to this trip. A well-run experience with a great group, catered to every ability and confidence level. Absolutely incredible to see these beautiful creatures up close in the water, this might be my all-time favourite dive trip. Thank you Steve and Apneists UK :)

Can't recommend Apneists UK enough, friendly and professional. Anyone wishing to venture into apnea can't go wrong, first class.

Apneists UK is a fantastic freediving school, no question! I was put at ease straight away when attending my first ever course - a course which taught me all the skills I needed to feel comfortable freediving and eager to improve. Inclusive, friendly and safety conscious, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Apneists UK to anyone - I already have!

I can’t recommend Apneists UK enough; the knowledge, experience and professionalism of their instructor is inspiring. I have used Apneists UK for my AIDA 1 and 2 Qualifications and felt supported and encouraged all the way. As well as developing my Freediving skills, Apneists UK have also helped me to realise my dream of becoming a mermaid performer following enrolling on one of there Performance Mermaid monofin courses. Thank you so much Apneists UK!

Apneists UK are the go to place for freediving training in both pool and open water as well as excursions such as swimming with sharks and seals!

I have had the opportunity to work with Apneists UK a few times, and I couldn't recommend them enough. They are professional, knowledgeable, understanding and flexible.
I will also be using them again for my next AIDA qualification.
They arrange freediving trips in and outside of the UK throughout the year, so the opportunities are endless.
