Dumagat Freedive

Founded in 2014, Dumagat Freedive is a locally owned and operated freediving center in the Philippines. Formerly located in Romblon, now in Dauin in the province of Negros Oriental. Our instructor, Emil, is an experienced SSI, RAID and AIDA accredited freediving instructor. Truly passionate about sharing freediving, he personalizes every course the best he can. We believe that freediving should be easier and more fun. With access to depth within swimming distance, we can spend more time freediving and also have more time for fun instead of spending a great deal of time boating or even traveling from the shop to the dive site. We provide personalized freediving education using SSI’s world-class training methods, materials and standards in a relaxed environment. Come take your new freediving adventure with us!
