One breath.
A whole new world.

Lars Nielsen

Freedive Instruktor

Danish instructor who speaks Czech. Try Freediving, Basic, Level 1 and training for freedivers.

Lars is our freediving instructor from Denmark, who has been living in Prague since 2011 and speaks excellent Czech. He has 5+2 children and therefore saintly patience. He worked in management and HR for a long time, and now he is fully dedicated to freediving. He is an SSI Level 1 instructor. He dives to depths of around 30 metres, has rescue dives trained to 20 metres and can hold his breath for 3:15 minutes in static, just so you have an idea of what sort of bloke he is.

For many years Lars taught gymnastics, ocean swimming in a triathlon club, and he also works with children’s swimming. In general, he very much enjoys water. He is constantly developing his skills in and out of the water, and for years he has been dedicated to safe breath-hold diving to depth and underwater swimming.

He combines his experience from freediving and everyday life. "Thanks to it I am happier with myself, and I believe I can pass that on to others," says Lars about himself. At our school Lars runs Basic Freediving and Level 1 courses, as well as Try Freediving taster lessons and training sessions for certified freedivers.
