I have always been looking forward to expanding my knowledge and trying different equipment to have more fun in the water as well to take it to my next level.Apnea Underwave Training it’s been an amazing experience.
August is very passionate and a very good Teacher.
I feel all the breathing techniques are very good to developing our potential in the water and outside of the water.
Great experience !
Thank you very much.Andres.

One day with Augusto completely changed my relationship with the water. After taking his Surf Survival course, I now feel more competent, comfortable, and peaceful while surfing and swimming. I cannot recommend Augusto’s training more highly!
He shared his passion for free diving in a scientific and accessible way. Augusto’s coaching allowed us to safely explore and move beyond our perceived physical and mental limits. I now have tools to continue to condition my mind and body for greater clarity and focus. Thank you, Augusto! I am excited to train with you again soon!

My experience with Augusto was amazing, I have been always in Love with the Sea, and this course and his help created a new way to understand and enjoy the bond between the Ocean and me. He helped me to know myself a bit better and opened a door to walk a new path, enjoying every step… If you can do the course with him, do not hesitate, sign up… Because you are going to love it!

I took the Survival Apnea course with Augusto in Santa Teresa and highly recommend it! He is professional, knowledgeable, passionate, and kind. These skills are great for everyone! A fun and functional approach to deepening self awareness and wellness. Excited to practice more!

I started surfing a couple of month ago and i was feeling very anxious when i was holding my breathe under waves. I saw this course on instagram and right away i knew i had to do it!
Augusto answered me back immediately and i took the two days surf survival apnea course. It was amazing that only after six hours of breathing training, coaching, and swimming pool practice i could already feel a huge difference in my comfort underwater. Augusto was super clear about all the theory, answered all my questions, and corrected us with detail and patience in every exercise.
I highly recommend this course to anyone visiting Costa Rica. -
Augusto Carrara is the one you need to know if you have relationship with the sea. For surfing, diving, big waves, or just improve your performance with your body and mind.
Plenty of things make this experience unique, don’t miss it. -
This course is a life saver. If you want to become more comfortable in the water, in a pool, surfing, on a boat, deep diving, snorkeling or really just in life, this course is for you. And if you are already super comfortable in the water like I was and just want to know about the physiology behind free diving and breath holding, the course is fascinating. To top it off, the instructor is super interesting, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. This is one of the best things I’ve done since moving to Costa Rica 18 months ago.

frequently asked questions
What is the course structure?
- Our Advanced Course is all about practice: since we have already covered the most fundamental aspects of breath-holding physiology and psychology, during this level we will jump straight into the practice.
- L2 Advanced Course is a 2-day Course, each day around +3 hours, where we will show you powerful breathing techniques to maximize your lung capacity, increase your breath hold time and comfort, and develop Co2 Tolerance as well as Hypoxia Tolerance.
- After the Breath Training Session, we will start our swimming pool session, where we will introduce you to advanced exercises such as Exhale Breath Holds, Co2 Laps, Wipeout Simulation Training, Surf-specific Breath Hold Tables & more!
- After Course completion, participants will have +2 extra training sessions (Weekly Training) to reinforce the knowledge and practice of the course.
I have completed the L1 Course but not feeling strong enough for the L2 requirements. What should I do?
- Practice is the priority! Whether you prefer to jump straight into Level 2 after finishing your Level 1, or you prefer to take some time to process what you just learned, the most important thing is that you keep practicing!
- We advise our students to join our weekly training or a private training session, and when you feel confident and strong enough to continue with your education, you can jump into our Level 2 Course!
Do I need any previous certification to attend this course?
- Yes, you need to complete our L1 Foundation Course to be able to join our L2 Advanced Course.
Do I need to be an advanced surfer to join an advanced Course?
- Not at all! Of course, you might think that our courses are related to your surfing expertise, but as we clarified in our L1 Foundation Course: Breathing and breath holding are something all surfers will benefit from, regardless of your surfing expertise.
- L2 Advanced Course will not only deepen your knowledge but also your physical and mental practice, which will be a game changer to achieve maximum confidence in the ocean, which will strongly impact your surfing sessions.
- Even if you are a beginner surfer, the L2 Advanced Course will provide the right tools for you to be in control of your breath during your surfing sessions, improve your overall endurance as well, and have more resources to endure challenging situations in the ocean.
- And if you are an advanced surfer/charger, this is an absolute MUST for you!
