WHO IS YOUR INSTRUCTOR?
Hi, I’m Ante and I’m very excited to share my story with you.
The story of my connection to the big blue started before I can remember…
As a kid I spent summers on the island Brač in a little town called Postira, which is my parents’ birthplace. It’s obvious that I spent most of my time there in the sea… snorkeling and even spearfishing with the bow and arrow that my grandpa made for me from an old umbrella.
In the teenage years, I drifted away from the sea and got back to it only in 2018 through my first freediving course, which completely flipped the page for me. Freediving became a mirror for my soul… a practice that taught me to slow down, respect my body, and find true presence.
Inspired to share this understanding with the world, I became a Molchanovs Wave 1 & 2 instructor in 2019. I was incredibly lucky to learn directly from legends Alexey Molchanov and Adam Stern in the breathtaking waters of Amed, Bali.
Only two years later, I started organizing freediving cruises with my partner Ana. We named it Freediver’s Dream and that’s exactly what it is… freedivers from all corners of the world getting together to sail the Adriatic and live our days entirely to the rhythm of the sea.
Today, I dedicate myself to promoting presence and connection with the ocean through teaching, coaching, and guiding specialized, boat-based training.
I believe that freediving is an inner journey first and that depth is never something we force. It is a natural consequence of letting go, quietening the mind, and connecting with the ocean from a place of pure joy. When we learn to relax and truly connect with ourselves, the depth comes naturally, safely, and always with a smile.
I am excited to take part in your own journey of personal transformation 🙂
