About me



My name is Christian Schneider – Freediving Instructor, certified Fitness & Personal Trainer, and much more.
In 2021, after decades of passion for freediving, I made the best decision of my life and began my training to become a Freediving Instructor.
Since 2022, I have been working as a freelance Freediving Instructor, and in 2024, I founded Apnea-Vienna. I'm excited to share my passion with like-minded individuals. During my travels around the world, I’ve had and continue to have the privilege of meeting top-class athletes and instructors from across the globe. I use these encounters as an opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from them.
I place great importance on creating a relaxed atmosphere and maintaining the highest safety standards, because only those who feel comfortable and safe can reach their full potential. Due to my passion for teaching, I especially enjoy inspiring my students to embrace freediving and experience the breathtaking beauty of the underwater world.
My drive is to continuously grow, personally, as a freediver and instructor.


My eBook "Freediving - A Beginners 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
