CURRENT MISSION

I travel around the globe connecting people to the ocean

Are you an ocean lover? 🐳

On our planet 🌎 five billion people can not swim.

FCOA likes to change that, we do so by training coaches to run freediving events.

Freediving is our tool 🔧 to make people fall in love 💘 with the ocean.

Freediving Coaches Of Asia (FCOA) is a non profit certification agency for freediving, scuba, sailing and climbing. We collaborate with divers and sailors that like to participate in our mission.

We teach less privileged societies to swim, dive and sail and turn them into advocates for our environment.

Collaborators participate in teaching and in exchange they get to do their continued courses.

We operate mostly in the Philippines, India, Uganda and Zambia.
Our head quarters is in Calapan Mindoro.

Scuba licences can be converted to CMAS

The program has an abundance of hands on teaching opportunities like no other course, its very practical, forward and no nonsense. Afterwards your ability to teach will be real and drilled in trough the daily repetition.

Many of our participants of the past now make a living teaching diving, we continue helping each other, we do workshops on event planning and marketing and experienced coaches keep coming back to help out.

The fact that this program gets conducted in the center of marine biodiversity at a place with caves and shipwrecks is a nice bonus.
