Located in San Juan on the island of Siquijor in the Philippines, Ankora Freediving offers a different approach to the underwater experience. Rather than focusing solely on technical performance, the school treats the ocean as a space for deep immersion and physiological mastery.
The centre is a Molchanovs Wave 2 certified school, specialising in training that emphasises the regulation of the nervous system to facilitate access to depth. This physiological approach is central to their curriculum, helping divers manage the body's response to breath-hold environments.
Ankora operates with a strong commitment to regenerative tourism and local leadership. A portion of every booking is dedicated to local marine sanctuaries, and the school works closely with a network of over 40 local guides. This ensures that the training benefits the community and the reefs that have been protected by these guides for generations.
The school's curriculum is built around the Molchanovs framework, specifically offering Molchanovs Wave 2-Certified-Freediving. This training focuses on the mastery of breathing techniques and the ability to regulate the nervous system during deep immersion.
