点评:Fantastic experience, which turned out to be so much more than “dive deep and hold your breath for a long time”, and expanded to connecting to yourself, trust, and the ocean. Thibault is possibly the best instructor you can find to set out healthy and positive foundations for freediving, he has a talent to make you immediately feel safe and supported to explore your limits, with no pressure, and it's obvious he genuinely cares to share the love of freediving with his students and community. He really went out of his way (quite literally as well) to make sure I was able to complete the AIDA certification during my short holiday in Madeira.
If you're hesitating, don't, and sign up for an intro or a course with him : whether you truly want to get into freediving or are just curious, you'll walk away having had a great time and interesting experience.
A few things that set him apart to finish convincing you:
_ perfect balance of no pressure no ego no stress, but also helping you expand your comfort zone, no matter where you start from (some more experienced people in the group went to 39 m, some were patiently coached through equalization challenges, all got good dive time and attention)
_ thoughtful intentional mix of 1 to 1 and (small) group instruction
_ flexible to take into consideration your constraints and progression
_ qualified scuba instructor too, so he can help you reconcile knowledge if you're a scuba diver
_ he speaks many languages including French
_ in depth expertise and experience and keen to answer all your questions and curiosity
_ well rounded super friendly guy too with whom you'll enjoy hanging out!
翻译:这是一次绝妙的体验,远不止“深潜并长时间屏住呼吸”那么简单,它更拓展到与自我、信任和海洋的联结。Thibault 可能是你能找到的最好的自由潜水教练,他能为你打下健康积极的自由潜水基础。他有一种天赋,能让你立刻感到安全和被支持,从而毫无压力地探索自己的极限。显然,他真心实意地想与学生和社群分享对自由潜水的热爱。为了确保我能在马德拉岛的短暂假期里完成 AIDA 认证,他真的非常尽心尽力(字面意义上的)。
如果你还在犹豫,那就别犹豫了,赶紧报名参加他的入门课程或正式课程吧:无论你是真心想学习自由潜水,还是只是出于好奇,你都会收获一段美好的时光和难忘的经历。
以下几点让他脱颖而出,最终说服你:
_ 他能完美平衡无压力、无架子、无紧张感,同时还能帮助你拓展舒适区,无论你的起点如何(团队中一些经验丰富的潜水员潜到了39米,一些潜水员在耐心指导下克服了耳压平衡的挑战,所有人都获得了充足的潜水时间和关注)。
_ 他精心设计了一对一和(小班)小组教学相结合的教学方式。
_ 他能灵活地考虑你的限制和进度。
_ 他本身也是一名合格的潜水教练,所以如果你是潜水员,他可以帮助你整合知识。
_ 他会说多种语言,包括法语。
_ 他拥有深厚的专业知识和丰富的经验,并且乐于解答你的所有疑问。
_ 他本人也超级友好,和他在一起你会感到非常愉快!
