Reviews:
“I have only the best to say about my experience with Chris at Michigan FreeDiving. No matter the concern (weather, logistics, gear, supplies, or content/knowledge) we found him to be within reach and incredibly supportive. Even more helpful was the sense of safety and equanimity with which Chris approached his lessons. By encouraging everyone to enjoy and appreciate their current diving ability it seems we all progressed more effectively and with more joy. Very grateful to know such a qualified teacher is so close to us in Michigan.”

I could not be any happier with my experience training under Chris Morey. From his quick and direct communication and helping hand while we studied for our tests and exam (especially the tech support!) , to the informative and passionate pre-training meeting, to the training and dives themselves, my partner and I really felt like Chris was the epitome of everything we hoped for from an instructor/teacher. We had an excellent time with our first train and can’t wait to go diving with Chris in the future. A new path is ahead of us and we’re very grateful Christopher Morey is paving our way. Five star review, would and will highly recommend.”

“I recently took the RAID Open Water and Advanced Freediving course, instructed by Chris Morey. I found the course to be very beneficial and highly recommend it to anyone interested in freediving, regardless of the level of experience you already have. I have worked as a United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer for the last decade and have extensive experience on and under the water – surfing, spearfishing, and freediving for lobsters and scallops. I found Chris’s instruction to be very beneficial from a safety standpoint, pointing out several serious safety hazards that had been commonplace in my diving particularly the physiology of shallow-water blackouts and specific techniques to avoid this. The coursework was very informational and I almost immediately was able to improve my diving performance by using Chris’s breathing techniques and having a more thorough understanding of the physiology of freediving. Chris Morey is a master of his craft and is an outstanding instructor and I highly recommend his RAID Freediving course.”

“Recently I completed the RAID Open Water and Advanced Freediving course with Michigan FreeDiving, and it was an incredible experience that exceeded my expectations! The course was well organization, and Chris was quick to respond to any question leading up to the course. The online theory portion was well-structured, providing a solid foundation in the principles of freediving, safety protocols, and physiology.
Once we transitioned to the practical sessions in the water, the instruction was top-notch. Chris was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about freediving. He emphasized safety while ensuring everyone felt comfortable pushing their limits. Being a Coast Guard Rescues Swimmer I am extremely comfortable in the water, the focus on technique was particularly beneficial; learning when to equalization, how long to rest, emphasis on mindfulness and relaxation techniques significantly improved my performance giving me the ability to easily get to the required depths.
Overall, I highly recommend the RAID Freediving course to anyone looking to explore the underwater world safely and effectively. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this course offers invaluable knowledge and experience.”
