About me



My name is Christian Schneider, Freediving Instructor, Certified Fitness & Personal Trainer and much more. In 2021, after decades of passion for diving, I made the best decision of my life and started my training to become a Freediving Instructor.
Since 2022, I've been working as a freelance Freediving Instructor and I'm excited to share my passion with fellow enthusiasts. During my travels around the world, I have had and continue to have the privilege of meeting exceptional athletes and instructors from all over the world. I use these encounters to engage in discussions with them, learn from their expertise, and gather many valuable experiences. Due to my long-standing passion for teaching, I am particularly happy to inspire my students for freediving and to introduce them to the breathtaking beauty of the underwater world.
My drive is to continually develop myself, personally, as a freediver and instructor!


My eBook "Freediving - A Beginner's Guide" is aimed at both beginners and advanced freedivers, providing an overview of the fundamentals of freediving. My primary goal was to compile essential knowledge and training methods to give newcomers a solid foundation to build upon.
In conbination with a freediving course, this guide will help you deepen, expand, and apply the knowledge you acquire in practice.
As an extra with every course or coaching, all my students receive my eBook
"Freediving - A Beginner's Guide"!

Discover your limits and dive down to explore the beauty of the underwater world and its inhabitants. As philosophical as it may sound, freediving is much more than just a sport; it is a journey into ourselves. Through it, we explore our boundaries, control our body and mind to dive longer, further, and deeper. Freediving teaches us patience, humility, and respect for nature. In the silence of the underwater world, we find tranquility away from the stressful world above the surface and lose ourselves in its beauty. It enables us to become one with nature and ourselves.
'If you want to study fish, it's best to become a fish yourself.' – Jacques-Yves Cousteau
This enriching experience will also help you in many situations in life above the water's surface and positively impact your life.
