Who We Are

Joe & Immy

We started Flow State because we reject the idea that you need to be fearless, ultra-fit, or an adrenaline junkie to get into freediving.

The truth is, you don't. You need to understand your body, learn to relax under pressure, and have someone in the water with you who remembers what it feels like to be a beginner freediver.

That's how we teach. AIDA-certified instruction with a strong focus on nervous system awareness, safety and building confidence from the ground up. At the end of the day, we want freediving to have put a smile on your face.

How to learn & freedive with us

Group Trips & Retreats

Small-group ocean adventures combining freediving, wildlife, adventure and community. Freediving experience is not necessary. Our 2026 pilot trips both sold out. 2027 bookings opening soon.

Freediving Courses

We teach AIDA 1, 2 and 3 in locations around the world — from Dahab to the Azores to the Red Sea. Courses run on set dates, so spaces are limited

Online Courses

A 7-day, online dry training programme to improve your breath-hold. Great preparation before taking a freediving course.

  • “Such a fun dive with Immy and Joe in Dahab. They're not only incredibly friendly and fun to freedive with, but also super supportive. I even got tips on technical stuff like buoyancy, which can be hard to master in the beginning. If you're thinking about freediving, or even if you're already experienced, you'll be in the best hands with these two.”

    — Sofia, from Portugal

  • "I had a fantastic trip to Dahab for my first adventure into freediving. I immediately had any apprehension put aside when I met my instructors Joe and Imy who guided me through the whole process. The course was well explained at each step and I achieved my Aida 2 certificate. Thank you to you both for your support and introducing me to the world of freediving."

    — Anthony, AIDA 2 Student, from UK

Why Flow State Freediving?

There's a feeling you can experience underwater that's almost impossible to find anywhere else. No noise, no rushing, no mental chatter. It’s what most freedivers keep coming back for.

Learning to tap into that flow state is what we teach. And, that carries into your everyday life too.

We're Immy and Joe — AIDA-certified instructors who teach people to freedive calmly, safely and with real confidence.

You won’t feel pressured, judged or (too) out of your depth with us. Just well looked after, encouraged and probably a little surprised by what your body is capable of.
