EGESUB FREEDIVING, Kemal Yayöz

Located in the Çeşme peninsula of Izmir, Egesub Freediving has been a dedicated fixture of the Turkish freediving community since 2003. The centre operates as an SSI freediving school, focusing on the discipline of breath-hold diving within a structured, safety-first framework.

For those looking to move beyond basic breath-holding, the school provides a pathway through formal certifications. The approach is built on the philosophy that true comfort in the water only comes through disciplined repetition and the mastery of correct technique.

The centre is led by expert SSI Freediving instructors who specialise in guiding divers through the complexities of depth, discipline, and safety. The instruction is designed to prevent excessive limit increases, ensuring that every diver respects their physiological boundaries.

Beyond standard certification courses, the team organises regular 'Training Days.' These sessions allow divers to return to the water under expert supervision to refine their skills and reinforce the techniques learned during their initial training programmes.

The course catalogue is extensive, covering the entire SSI freediving progression. You can begin with SSI Try Freediving or SSI Pool Freediving before moving through the Basic Freediver, SSI Freediver, and Advanced Freediver levels.

For those seeking specialised skills, the centre offers training in Dynamic No Fin (DNF), Constant Weight No Fin (CNF), Free Immersion, and Monofin techniques. More advanced divers can pursue the SSI Performance Freediver certification or participate in technical training programmes. The school also provides specialised training in spearfishing, including SSI Spearfishing Basic and SSI Spearfishing Safety & Training.

Egesub serves as a distributor and representative for major brands in the freediving and spearfishing sectors. This means you have access to a professional range of equipment, including specialised fins, wetsuits, and masks.

For those who prefer not to carry their own kit, the centre offers full equipment hire. This includes essential items such as fins, masks, snorkels, and wetsuits, ensuring you have the specific tools required for breath-hold disciplines.

The local diving environment in Çeşme is characterised by calm conditions, with no significant currents to contend with. This makes the area particularly suitable for the precision and relaxation required in freediving.

Water conditions are generally stable, with no significant swell or wind issues reported in the local data, providing a reliable environment for both training and depth work.
