SINK POSITIVE!

SINK POSITIVE! That is our credo. Sporty serenity instead of “performance must”. We focus on the experience of the underwater world. On spending a lot of time “being” in the blue.

Sink into the crystal-clear water. The mystical and most remote Canary Island, El Hierro, is the place to be. Would you like to get to know one of the most fascinating sports in the world? Or are you already a freediver and want to “deepen” your knowledge and skills? At Freediving El Hierro you have the chance to develop and consolidate your diving in a fun, relaxed atmosphere under top instruction.

We train all levels. From complete beginner to instructor.

If you want to maximize your own potential or even have ambitions to set new records at championships and international competitions, we recommend our personal training plans. The same applies here: SINK POSITIVE! You will receive meaningful, motivating long-term training plans that will gently encourage you to reach your full potential. We have no sympathy for drills that constantly push you to your limits.

One of our specialties is that we really do offer “free freediving” in addition to instruction and training. Spectacular guided freediving tours and snorkeling excursions around the World Biosphere Reserve Island of El Hierro.

About Karsten Mohr

Customer testimonials: Experiences with Freediving El Hierro

I am extremely satisfied and delighted with Karsten’s course. He is very emphatic, explains and demonstrates excellently. I have made significant progress, feel more confident and am noticeably calmer when diving. I will definitely be back and until then I will not miss any opportunity to recommend him to others.

Rebecca Kapellusch

I would really recommend freediving with Freediving El Hierro. Karsten and his team are great instructors and El Hierro is such a gem of tranquillity. Karsten is a friendly person, is very professional and has a keen eye on what will help you to dive in a more relaxt and effective manner. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a pro. Don’t forget to also join the excursions, as Karsten will lead you to (and through) some of El Hierro’s amazing underwater scenery.

Tom van der Meer

I can’t say enough good things about Karsten at Freediving El Hierro – truly the best experience I’ve had on any dive course, ever. He explained the theory in clear detail, gave us specific personal feedback to improve our technique, and celebrated with us when we reached our goals.

His freediving enthusiasm and expertise was clear, and he tailored the pace of the course to challenge and motivate each student.

Finally, he was an excellent and knowledgable guide, and we enjoyed exploring the best spots of El Hierro on his excursions – a great way to balance training days with fun adventures.

Legendary instructor, epic location; we can’t wait to return in future.

Gretel Waugh

When I arrived on the island, I had doubts as to whether I could really achieve the required depth in the time available for the course. These doubts were gradually dispelled with a lot of sensitivity and the right tips, so that this requirement was actually almost the easiest in the end.

Marc Sacker

With rest and an extremely well-developed training plan, I finally felt like I could get back to myself. Not only did I see great progress in terms of performance, but I also gained a completely new approach to diving on a personal level. I’m already looking forward to my next time in the water with Freediving El Hierro.

Mailin Röder

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced diver, I can recommend Freediving El Hierro to all freediving enthusiasts without reservation. It is a great overall package of fantastic diving spots, professional organization, wonderfully conveyed learning content, individual support and top mentoring. I will definitely be back and will also do my AIDA IV with Karsten. Thank you for everything!
