Our Surf Survival Course is designed for all sea lovers—from beginner to advanced surfers—who want to enhance their breath-holding capabilities and underwater survival skills. Over 8 hours, this course offers practical techniques and mental strategies to boost confidence, control, and safety in challenging surf conditions.
Delivered online, covering the fundamentals of breathwork adapted for surf scenarios, safety protocols, and underwater movement.
Guided exercises on land to simulate water conditions and teach efficient movement and breathing techniques.
Practical in-water exercises to apply learned skills in real surf conditions, focusing on breath-holding, stress management, and safety.
The theoretical part of the course is accessible online, allowing for flexibility. The practical training is conducted at selected beaches around Portrush known for their surf conditions, providing realistic and controlled environments for learning.
Participants should be comfortable in open water settings and have a basic understanding of swimming. Prior surfing experience is helpful but not required as the course is designed to cater to a range of surf levels.
As a center specialising in water sports and safety training, we understand the unique challenges and dangers of surfing. Our Surf Survival Course is taught by seasoned surf instructors and safety professionals who bring real-world experience and dedicated coaching to every session.

Join us to become a more confident and skilled surfer, ready to handle whatever the ocean throws your way.
The course includes three main components: an online theory module, guided land-based training, and realistic water training exercises. Each section is designed to build on the skills developed in the previous one.
Safety is a top priority. All practical sessions are supervised by experienced instructors with expertise in water safety. Rescue equipment and first aid kits are always on hand during in-water activities.
Here are some testimonials from previous students:
"Great in-depth theory followed by a super practical session. I genuinely can't recommend this course highly enough - especially if you're looking to continue surfing or swimming outside of lifeguard season. Get booked, get safe!" - Colin
"Hanno has such experience of breath-work and surfing and the training was very interesting - mentally and physically. The practical work made me realise why I wasn’t able to hold my breath for very long and why iIwould get so tired when paddling out through waves. I now have the tools to practice to improve my breathwork safely. Would recommend this to any surfers - any level! Thanks Hanno!” - Tanya
“This one-day course provides all the necessary theory, skills and practical experience to improve your confidence and performance particularly when dealing with stressful surf situations. Would certainly recommend this course and already making plans to put my new knowledge into action! Thanks again Hanno for everything !” - Alan
"This is definitely a worthwhile course for anyone looking to calm the mind, extend your knowledge of breathing yet ultimately to keep you safe in the surf ! It was a great day with brilliant land and water-based training and handouts for further practice. I feel more confident handling wipeouts in bigger waves now." - Genevieve
Tried a freediving lesson recently and wow — what an amazing experience from start to finish 🌊✨ The breathing techniques were way easier to learn than I expected, and the whole thing was super peaceful and grounding. 100% doing it again and would totally recommend it to anyone curious about…
Hanno was absolutely fantastic and we really enjoyed the whole experience start to finish. We will definitely be back again!
Hanno has expert knowledge and adapts your experience to your ability. Cannot recommend highly enough
Really good tuition and excellent fun for all. Hanno has a lovely way about him towards everyone. Family will be back!
