Aleksandr Seliverstov

I take great pride in my ability to identify and address technical challenges in students' freediving techniques, particularly in equalization and freediving skills. Many individuals come to me seeking to elevate their performance, and through personalized instruction, I have been successful in helping them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. The positive feedback and results from my students serve as a testament to my teaching approach and inspire me to share my knowledge with future instructors.
