Where do we dive?
We dive in Turkey and Indonesia depending on the season. Choose the location that suits you best!

Kas, Turkey
May — October
Enjoy the warm turquoise water of the Mediterranean Sea with amazing visibility. Try famous Turkish cuisine with the sweetest baklava, fresh seafood, and the ripest vegetables, fruits, and berries. On top of that, you can explore ancient Roman and Lycian ruins and picturesque mountain landscapes. We promise you'll find what to do between your freediving activities!
Bali, Indonesia
November — April
Even though the period from November to March is the wet season in Indonesia, my location on the island of Nusa Penida is much drier and and has fewer rains than the Bali island. The water is always warm and clear, and the reefs will lavish you with bright colors and rich underwater life. Here, the ocean is usually calm and clean, just as freedivers like it!
