The Start: How Channce became one of the best coaches in the world of freediving.

It all begins with an idea. And my idea was to open a freediving center close to home in the United States. To offer to people the same life changing experience that was once offered to me.

After freediving in the mysterious and otherworldly blues of the Cenotes in Tulum (Freedive Tulum), Mexico; and the dreamscape of the Mediterranean in Mallorca (Freedive Mallorca), Spain.

I was mesmerized. And I was spellbound by the sea. The fire had been lit within me to become an expert in the world of freediving.

And then formed a vision. A vision to introduce people the very same oceanic beauty that had been shown to me. I wanted to provide for people a pathway towards exploring the underwater world in all its enchantment; through the greatest manner possible; freediving.

After returning to Freedive Tulum to complete my Advanced Course, I then embarked on a world wide journey to study, train, and learn from the very best in the sport of freediving.

Completing my Masters Course in Utila, Honduras (with Freedive Utila) and finally setting roots in Koh Tao, Thailand to complete the rigorous Instructors Course at the Apnea Total Headquarters. And upon completion, I established a residency there, instructing and developing hundreds of students, from all around the world.

My passion for the sport and sea has taken me all around this blue planet. Diving in waters ranging from the Caribbean and Mediterranean. To the South China Sea in Thailand. To the East China Sea of Japan. Diving alongside some of the most awe inspiring creatures of the deep, in the Pacific Ocean’s Sea of Cortez.

I positioned myself to learn from the absolute highest level athletes and coaches in the sport of freediving. Becoming myself, one of the best there is in the apnea arena. All to give the knowledge that I have accumulated to you. Here in the tropical Puerto Rican paradise of the Caribbean Sea.

Whether you are a complete beginner, or someone wanting to compete at the highest level of the sport. I am here to offer you all of the expertise that I have gained in my years of dedication to freediving. To make whatever underwater dreams that you may have, a reality.

Freediving can open up the entire world of underwater exploration for you. From diving alongside the enchanting creatures of the sea, to gracefully gliding into depths you never imagined possible. Using nothing but our lungs and the air that we breathe.

Within the art of freediving, you are the brush and the ocean is your canvas. And we at Apnea Puerto Rico are grateful to offer you the key to your passage into the underwater world. And we look forward to seeing you here in these beautiful Caribbean waters we call home.

From the Ocean,
