We believe that progress in freediving comes from understanding yourself, refining technique and training in a calm and supportive environment. Our approach values individual progression, clear communication and safe practice, both in and out of the water.

MEET THE TEAM

FR/ENG

It was during a post-Covid trip to Asia that I experienced my first freedive. I left everything behind. I am now a freediving master instructor, a certified safety diver (pool and depth)  and equalization coach. Today, I guide students into depth with calm and awareness, helping them move serenely through this immensity, release apprehension and build confidence. My wish is to help you experience the same sense of freedom that drives me on every dive.

When I discovered freediving, I discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed. The strength to move beyond my own barriers, fears and limits. Diving became the healthiest and most effective therapy I could imagine. As a freediving master instructor, functional breathing coach (Oxygen Advantage) and menstrual coach I am here to help you find balance, performance and self-understanding. The adventure begins here.

OUR METHOD

Our approach is built around one essential constant: acceptance and room for error.
In freediving, sustainable performance does not come from perfection, but from balance.

This is why our method is based on three fundamental pillars:
self-confidence, technique, and relaxation.
These elements influence every dive, every progression, and every performance.

It is rare for all three to be at their peak at the same time.
The goal is therefore not to control them perfectly, but to make sure that their interaction remains stable and reliable over time.
A system that is too rigid, too complex, or too finely tuned leaves no space for error — and this is often where limitations and blockages appear.

We guide you in developing practical tools that allow you to adapt, recover, and continue your dive even when conditions are not optimal.
In this way, you learn how to reach your full potential safely, with clarity and confidence.

To this day, this approach has consistently proven effective — for both beginners and advanced freedivers.

LIGHTHOUSE

The beating heart of Dahab

End of a freediving session in Lighthouse bay, Dahab

Right in the center of Dahab, Lighthouse bay is one of the most iconic freediving spots in the world.
Just a few fin kicks from the shore, the sandy entry opens into a stunning drop-off — the perfect training ground for all levels.

The site offers depths from 5 to 50 meters, making it ideal for everything from beginner courses to advanced deep dives. The visibility is usually crystal clear, and the gentle slope allows easy buoy setup close to the shore.

BLUE HOLE

The jewel of Dahab

Freediving training session in Blue Hole, Dahab.

Blue Hole is more than a dive site — it’s a legend. Located just north of Dahab, this natural sinkhole drops straight into the deep blue, reaching over 90 meters of depth only a few meters from the shore.

The descent is vertical and the silence absolute. 

Blue Hole is suitable for beginners who want to experience this legendary place and for experienced freedivers who want to train in depth and focus on technique, equalization and relaxation.

J’ai choisi Snorkel Out pour ma première expérience d’apnée et je n’aurais pas pu rêver mieux ! Ça a été une expérience très enrichissante, qui m’a permis d’en apprendre beaucoup sur moi-même, de repousser mes limites, mais aussi d’apprendre à me relaxer pour atteindre mes objectifs. J’ai passé mon AIDA 2 avec Fanny, une instructrice très pédagogue et attentive. Le coaching est à la fois très sérieux et super convivial. J’ai eu la chance de partager de très bons moments à Fresh Fish avec elle et son entourage, tous aussi adorables les uns que les autres ! J’ai pu constater de vrais progrès dès mes premières sessions grâce à ses excellents conseils et à son accompagnement. Je recommande SnorkelOut à 100 % pour découvrir ou progresser en apnée. Merci encore pour cette super expérience ! 🐠🩵

J'ai eu la chance de plonger avec snorkelout lors de mes deux semaines à Dahab. J'étais encadré principalement par Salim. Au niveau apnée, le coaching est sérieux et personnalisé, tant au niveau pratique que théorique, ce qui m'a permis de progresser dès les premières sessions. En dehors des sessions d'entraînements, Salim et Julie connaissent de supers spots de snorkeling et organisent des excursions incroyables qui marqueront vos esprits (mention spéciale pour le camp à Ras Mohammed avec nuit en tente sur la plage). D'autres part, Salim et Julie connaissent très bien Dahab et m'ont aidé à organiser mon voyage (transfert aéroport, organisation d'excursions hors plongée comme l'ascension du Mont Sinaï...). Ils ont aussi tout un tas de super recommandations de restaurants et d'activité à faire sur place. Mon séjour à Dahab n'aurai probablement pas été le même sans Snorkelout ! Je recommande cette école aux freedivers débutants et confirmés et j'espère pouvoir y revenir bientôt. Merci 🙏

I can't recommend snorkel out freediving enough. Ju guided us to an amazing 2-day experience in Ras Mohammed. Her knowledge about the area and the diving spots there and her selection of the camp site made the trip exceptionally memorable. Moreover, Ju was a great coach and she helped me overcome a mental barrier that I had in my pool training. Besides that, Ju and Selim are incredible human beings and interacting with them is so enriching.

I did my AIDA 3 with Salim, and I really loved his teaching style. After trying different instructors before, I realized his approach fits me the best. It’s very straightforward and practical, no bullshit, no overly deep technical explanations meant for champions instead of beginners. Culturally, that style works really well for me. I improved a lot in just a few sessions, so I can only imagine how much more progress I’d make next time. Beyond that, I genuinely had a lot of fun. Salim is professional, knowledgeable, and creates a good atmosphere during training. We’ll definitely be back this year to train more with them. And, I also love the t-shirt they gave me, such a beautiful little reminder of an amazing week training in Dahab 🐙🧜‍♀️

Just finished my AIDA 2 course with Julie and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Freediving was a completely new sport for us, and Julie was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process, having us patience in explaining everything, helping us learn while fully enjoying all the new sensations that freediving brings. The place is also beautiful, the water, the temperature, all of it. Also coordinating the schedule was super easy. Everything just felt relaxed, chill, and enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d recommend to any friends who want to try freediving!

I had a fantastic experience training with Snorkel Out Freediving in Dahab. They genuinely go the extra mile to make students feel supported, safe, and encouraged throughout the time with them. Salim was an outstanding instructor — incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and especially helpful with my equalisation issues. His calm approach and clear explanations made a huge difference to my confidence and progress in the water. Julie also organised a fantastic boat trip which was one of the highlights of my time in Dahab. Everything was smooth, relaxed, and beautifully organised, creating such a great atmosphere for both training and enjoying the Red Sea. If you’re considering freediving in Dahab, I can highly recommend Snorkel Out. Professional, friendly, and passionate people who truly care about giving their students an amazing experience.
