Depth Wish Freediving Southwest 20th Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32607

"I completed my PADI advanced freediver course with Tanner and it won't be my last! Tanner is possibly the best freediving instructor in the entire southeast. His attention to safety, technique, and relaxation was an incredible addition to the already very informative course. He is a fantastic teacher, and I can't wait to book 1:1 lessons with him in the future. He teaches PADI and AIDA courses and his experience as a competition safety diver meant he intuitively can give personalized advice and attention to each of his students. Bonus: you get to experience the springs of Florida! I loved every moment and can't wait to continue my freediving journey with Tanner."

"Depth wish is an amazing company! I started free diving about 1 year ago and took my level 1 intro class and my level 2 advanced class with instructor Tanner Pedersen. I also competed in a competition with Tanner as my coach and crushed my dives. He was very attentive to detail when it came to my coaching plan and was always easily available when I had questions. He is absolutely amazing as an instructor and as a person as well. I recommend anyone that is wanting to start free diving to take a beginner class with him and get ready to fall in love with the world of free diving!"

"Tanner is one of the most absolutely amazing teachers. He's so kind, patient, and you can tell he cares about what he does. He makes sure to answer all questions and help you achieve your full potential. He's one of the coolest people I've ever met and I'm so privileged I got to work with him! I wouldn't recommend anyone else for your freediving certification, he is so knowledgeable and has all the strengths to be a wonderful instructor."

"I took my Level 2 freediver with Tanner in Feb 2022, and it was an amazing experience. From great tips to calming any nerves, Tanner looked after us and made sure we had confidence in the water. If you want to learn from someone who’s got the experience competing, teaching, and knowledge but also will have deep conversations about meditation and philosophy about diving, look no further. You couldn’t be in better hands! So happy to be a part of the Depth Wish family."

"Tanner is an incredible instructor! My level 1 class was a ton of fun and left me confident and excited for the dives to come. Going into it, I wasn’t the most comfortable in the water, but Tanner made sure we had all the knowledge and skills we needed and also provided the emotional and mental support to get me to relax and to enjoy every meter! I remember one of the times he was getting me to relax, I thought to myself, dang, he’s really good at this. He should do this for astronauts going into space, or kids going to their first day of school... I can’t recommend a company any more highly than Depth Wish whether you’re just starting your freediving journey or taking it to the next level!"
