About Us
Guernsey Freedivers works with freedivers of all levels to help them develop as divers and to give them the skills and confidence to discover their passion within the sport, whether that be freediving recreationally, competing, exploring, spearfishing, underwater photography or any of the other many opportunities that freediving provides.
Our ethos is to take the pressure away from achieving results and to focus on you enjoying your time in the water. We are here to help you discover what freediving can offer you and to allow you to develop at your own pace with the support that works for you.
In particular, we focus on providing beginner-level freediving training and experiences with an emphasis on giving people the techniques and confidence to be able to explore and enjoy Guernsey’s marine environment. Our focus is not just on depth and time but on developing well rounded freedivers that have the knowledge, skills and experience to be able to safely explore the aquatic world.

James Dickinson
A local boy, James grew up on the west coast of Guernsey. His first experience of freediving was through spearfishing with friends in local waters, which ignited a passion for freediving that has only grown with time. James has taken time to focus on developing his freediving skills and knowledge and he is now an experienced freediver and a qualified Molchanovs instructor as well as AIDA assistant instructor.
James has had the privilege of freediving and spearfishing in some of the world’s best locations, including French Polynesia, Dominica, Dahab and the Philippines, as well as the opportunity to train with some of the sport’s top athletes. He has participated in a number of competitions, including, most recently, the 2024 CMAS Freediving Depth World Cup Series in the Philippines. Although he has experience across all freediving disciplines, James’ personal focus is Constant No Fins.
