About Us

Our school is here to share freediving with anyone who feels drawn to it. We incorporate aspects of yoga, breathwork and psychology into certified PADI and Pure Apnea courses. We encourage students to unlock their amphibious potential, finding inner peace through the transformative freedom they experience. Freediving alters our consciousness in subtle but real ways.

The underwater world opens to those who approach it with soft focus and clear intention. States of mind reached during freediving can positively impact other areas of life. We become able to let go, live in the moment and manage emotions.

Do you want to discover a magical space… in water and within yourself?

Nurture a fluid awareness of aquatic flow. Join us on an alchemical adventure into the liquid wilderness.

In 2005 I started freediving and spearfishing in the cold ‘North Sea’ where I grew up. Soon I did my first freediving course and was never the same again. After completing a degree in Marine Biology, I left the UK to discover warmer waters…

Freediving became the focus of my life. It reconnected me with primal urges to discover, hunt and gather. It is my therapy and energy to this day. My exploration of the in and out.

The ocean challenges us in mental, physical and emotional ways. Through this process we develop, reprogramming the mind-body and integrating the tranquility and mindfulness necessary for practice. Although I do not directly teach courses at the school, I personally mentor all of the instructors to carry forth the energy and message of Fathom Freedive.

Hi, I’m Timmy Wright, a freediving instructor from England. I discovered freediving in 2020, through a deep love of the ocean and a desire to explore it, one breath at a time. What began as a passion soon became a way of life. 

I started my freediving journey while living in Koh Tao, Thailand, where I spent two years training and exploring the underwater world. I later completed my Instructor Course in Boracay Philippines. I lived and taught here for six months, helping students grow comfortable and confident in the water. 

Freediving has taught me to connect deeply with both body and mind, finding a calm focus that extends far beyond the water. I love sharing that same sense of peace, freedom, and appreciation for the ocean with others. I look forward to sharing the freedom of a single breath with you, guiding all you to dive safely, mindfully, and with enjoyment. 

Other ares of interest for me include breathwork and nutrition. You can expect some extra curricular breathwork / pranayma sessions on every course with me. 

 

Location and School

We are based in Jemeluk Bay, in a fishing town called Amed, East Bali, Indonesia. With beautiful coral gardens, reefs and walls to be explored, this bay is abundant with marine life.

Facilities include large air-conditioned classroom, open air classroom and hot/cold water showers.

Unlike the oversaturated tourist destinations in South Bali (Canggu, Kuta etc), Amed has not lost the traditional, relaxed atmosphere. 

Restaurants, yoga studios, beer gardens and bars overlook the shimmering waters of the bay, a great place to watch the sun set behind mount Agung. 

A winding road runs along the coastline with ocean on one side and towering hills on the other. Shipwrecks, waterfalls, beaches and colorful culture is here. For more information see our Amed guide.
