Donny is an awesome instructor – professional, patient, with a good sense of humor. He’s always keeping an eye on everyone’s safety while customizing individual coaching sessions.

Donny might be the most knowledgeable instructor in Taiwan on freediving related information such as workouts, physiology, relaxation routines and so on, because he is constantly learning when he’s interviewing top level freedivers on his podcast “freedive cafe” which is how I found Donny!

I cannot recommend any instructor more highly than Donny. His dedication to helping us learn and practice safe freediving skills was paramount in our ability to learn the correct techniques at our own pace. He was very patient with us and we had so much fun during the course!

Freediving could be an intimidating experience for beginners like me, fortunately Donny is extremely patient and encouraging ! on top of that , there was no compromises when it comes to safety, which I think is very very important.

I highly recommend coming here because Donny is a professional and very serious about his students safety and knowledge. You’ll feel well educated after you finished the course! And Xiao Liuqiu is such a beautiful place, fast to get there too. Don’t miss out <3 thanks Freedive Taiwan!

Amazing experience – Donny is very knowledgeable about the sport & was extremely patient with me. Would definitely recommend this course to everyone!

My wife and I really enjoyed the freediving course with Donny.
Donny could be a best instructor in Taiwan. He has great passion for teaching with patients with us. Due to his great support we learned new skill in very short of time and it was great fun!

I chose to learn free diving with Donny based on the other reviews and can confirm he is an excellent instructor and a great guy. It is so critical to build the right habits from the beginning and Donny ensures that this happens. Second, he is very patient and knows how to encourage and help you through the learning process.

Amazing trip into the world of freediving. Faced my own mental challenges and limitations and pushed much further (20 meters dive). All thanks to professional guidance by Donny, his sense of humor and 100% safety at all times. TOP RATED.

Can’t agree more with all the reviews. If you want to have a professional, safe experience learning the techniques from a great coach and about the world of freediving in English in Taiwan, you don’t have to look further. You won’t regret signing up with Donny plus you get to take a small getaway trip to Xiao Liu Qiu while you are at it…and even some yoga too! Thanks, Donny.

Donny is the best and most knowledgeable freedive instructor on the island. He is the real deal. I had a an absolutely amazing time and super safe dives. He is a legend. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic long weekend with Donny as total beginners. Very highly recommended – and you’re guaranteed to see lots of turtles too!
