I had an incredible 3 months at Rica Freedivers. Brad has created a very welcoming and safe community for all levels. He goes above and beyond with everything that he does. His passion for the ocean is contagious. Not only is he an excellent teacher but he is an amazing mentor. Gabriella is an excellent safety diver and overall a great addition to the operation. Beyond grateful for my time spent with Rica Freedivers crew. The experience and knowledge gained over the past few months is priceless. Looking forward to what the future holds!

Brad and Gabriella created a professional, safe, and mostly, fun environment and community for me to learn how to freedive. I appreciated the technical pool sessions and ample amounts of time in the ocean during my three weeks. Lucked out with a relatively dry 'wet' season in August and saw/swum with dolphins some days! Highly recommended for anyone looking to dive in the Pacific. Waters were warm (28-30deg C) most days.

I had an incredible time during my freediving course in Quepos, Costa Rica. The staff was super friendly and made me feel at ease right away. Learning the basics and diving in the open water was a total thrill. If you're up for an exciting adventure and great people, I highly recommend this freediving course in Quepos!

I did my Molchanov & PADI crossover with Brad and it was great! Super glad I chose Ricafreedivers. Brad was very professional and very thorough with all theory and explanations. He is a great instructor trainer and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to do a freediving course. In the crossover I had to send over some videos of myself doing some of the necessary requirements and for every video I sent he analyzed them throughly and then gave me useful tips to help improve my technique and teaching skills. Brad also includes in the crossover an extra topic of marketing and business which he goes into detail about and is usually not included in the crossover theory. Brad gave loads of ideas and tips for us to make our business even better which I am very thankful for.

Doing the molchanov certification with Brad was a great experience. I improved my confidence to go deeper but also been more mindful about the things I had to adjust to improve my technique. Besides that, doing the practices in Costa Rica is a blessing, I had the opportunity to listen whales while doing the immersion.

From safety protocols to proper techniques, Brad ensured that my buddy and I gained a comprehensive understanding of the sport.
