I got my PADI Level 1 Freediver certification through Master Switch Freediving in May 2019. David Cobiella is a fantastic instructor and truly passionate about both his work and springs conservation. He did a great job of presenting the technical knowledge in an easily accessible way, and providing personalized training in the water. I had been freediving casually before, but with the help of David and his training I was able to achieve two personal bests during the course. Whether you are a novice or more experienced in the water, I highly recommend taking a course with Master Switch Freediving!

When my brother and I booked our class. We were unsure how things would be. This class exceeded all our expectations. David is an awesome teacher and helped us set new personal bests and do things I didn’t think I’d be able to do. I have recommended Master Switch Freediving to my friends and I plan to book David again when I am ready for more advanced training.

I became a certified freediver with David about two months ago. I wasn't sure what to expect in a freediving course because I've been diving my whole life but I ended up getting so much out of it - totally worth the cost and 1.5 days of training. The course walks you through everything from diving techniques and breath holds to water safety and rescue. The lessons from the PADI course are valuable on their own but David brings in outside experience from his time training with world renowned freedivers and sets you up for not just a new hobby, but a new lifestyle. He is clearly passionate about the sport and he works to protect the places he dives too. I think he may be the first freedive instructor to work environmental sustainability into his business model. Super impressive. If that's not enough, he's also patient, professional, a stickler for safety, and far more knowledgeable/experienced as a teacher than most. You'll find out why when you take his course. I would 10/10 recommend David for your freediving needs!

So much fun and so much to learn! David was a great teacher and was able to give each diver individual attention. Most of us got a personal best in some way or another, and the classes were so much fun! The check out dive is at a spring too, which was incredible. Highly recommend for brand new and experienced divers!!
