Testimonials : What others are saying
"Training with Augusto helped me redefine and push my limits in a safe way. Without doubt, the relaxation techniques during the apneas (breath holding exercises) allowed me to understand and become aware of what happens to the body & mind when you are pushing them to the limit. For anyone looking for Ocean Fitness & Confidence, this course and training programs are a MUST!!!"

" I really enjoy spending time learning from Augusto. I've had a few session now and i like to keep things regular as a way to keep on top of things over time. Obviously i find it helps a lot with surfing in terms of mind control and staying calm in some sticky situations but i also like to use his training methods and apply them across other areas of my life. Health and work life for example. He's a great guy, super professional and surfs too which i feel makes it more relatable versus some of the other similar courses i've tried. Highly recommended."

"During a big day at Padang Padang, I found myself in a really bad situation. After this experience, I decided that I really wanted to feel ready and be safer in situations like that. I made a search for an apnea course and I found Augusto. I can only say that the course can be literally life changing. When I first started I couldn´t hold my breath for more than 28 seconds, after few exercises, practice, help and learning, I was able to hold it for 3 minutes. Now I feel really safe in more challenging conditions. So i´m able to slowly push my limits a bit more day by day. Thanks Augusto."

"Survival Apnea was my first experience with breathing techniques. What surprised me the most was how "breath" influences our daily live and how breathing & apnea practices are not just important for big wave surfing and spearfishing, which were my main interests to work with Augusto. A great learning experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life."

"Augusto is both a freediver/spearfisherman and a surfer who likes to challenge himself in big surf. As well as an excellent mentor and coach. From participating in Augusto's trainings I received reiteration of staying calm under fire and also many valuable techniques to increase breathholds and expand the edges of my comfort zone both in spearfishing and surfing big waves …
Thanks Augusto 🤙🏼"

"Augusto's Ocean Resilience Course was amazing, it was great both physically and mentally, it made me really aware of my respiration and fully connected me to my body by doing simple and fun apnea excercises. Thanks Augusto!"
