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!

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.
