About Ilaria

As a freediving coach and athlete, I view the ocean as a canvas for personal growth.
Through a holistic approach, I empower students to become their own freediving experts, building a strong foundation in skills and knowledge.

My fascination with the human mind began during my university studies in psychology.
This curiosity, coupled with a strong passion for pedagogy and didactics, fueled my desire to create a unique learning experience for my students.

My journey towards a deeper understanding of the body-mind connection continued with yoga and pranayama practice in Kerala, India.
This experience enhanced my appreciation for breathwork and movement, which became foundational pillars of my teaching philosophy.

I further honed my teaching skills as part of the opening team at a renowned freediving center in Villefranche, Nice.

Now based in Dahab, Egypt, I have established a space where learning feels organic and empowering.
My approach ensures students develop a deep understanding of freediving, fostering a lifelong love for the sport.

I believe I offer the best coaching possible through my solid commitment to continuous training. Becoming a freediving instructor was just the beginning. Since then, I have continued to train and receive coaching from the best in the field.

While a dedicated coach, I also partake in competitions, a way to push my own limits, and a reminder to stay connected to the sport I love. In turn, my competitive spirit translates into tailoring your freediving journey to your unique goals, not chasing depth records.
I welcome students of all levels, providing a supportive and encouraging environment where everyone can explore their potential.
