Tsalul Freediving in Eilat
Breathe. Relax. Dive.
Tsalul is a home for learning freediving in Eilat - for beginners looking for a safe way into the world of freediving, and for experienced divers who want to improve their depths and times.
In the courses, the training sessions and the workshops you get the tools to dive freely. Tools that stay with you not only below the surface, but in everyday life too: for lowering stress, for a sharper awareness of your own body, and for self-confidence.
What is freediving?
Freediving is diving on a single breath, with no tanks. You take a breath, drop into the blue with a pair of fins (or without them), and start flying underwater.
Freediving courses
Our freediving courses teach you how to relax in the water, and how to hold your breath and descend safely and comfortably. The Stage A course runs over three days in the clear water of Eilat and takes you to 20 metres, with international certification from Apnea International.
Asaf Bandel
Asaf Bandel has been teaching freediving in Eilat since 2018 and has guided hundreds of divers - from complete beginners who had never dived before, to certified instructors. He is an Instructor-Trainer with Apnea International.
Ever since I discovered freediving, a whole new world opened up for me - a stillness and a color found nowhere else. Today, as an instructor, I love being part of the moment when that world opens up for someone else too.

First of all, Asaf is a patient person who knows how to teach (which is very important) and how to get the material across. And in the water, his approach gives you a lot of confidence.
The course was run professionally, with emphasis points throughout all three days. The training was intense on one hand but moderate on the other. Safety rules were kept and all students were treated equally.

Dear Asaf,
I want to express my appreciation for the guidance, patience and professionalism you gave us during the course.
As someone who suffers from post-traumatic stress, freediving is an amazing help. Thanks to the thorough preparation, the gradual practice, the breathing techniques and the physical and mental balance you taught us, you gave me a new life. I was able not only to return to the water, but also to dive to incredible depths.
A course that is a great experience.
Thank you so much for everything, there's no one like you.
Asaf is very patient and professional, and everything is done calmly.
I really enjoyed the course!

I'd wanted to take a freediving course for a long time, and after seeing Asaf's content on social media and connecting with it, I decided to check it out. Before I signed up we talked about what the course would involve and I raised my concerns. Asaf understood, reassured me and promised that everything happens at a personal pace. During the course Asaf was attentive to every student and gave guidance and attention exactly as each person needed. If you want a freediving course with a personal, relaxed approach, I highly recommend taking a course at Tsalul with Asaf Bendel. And I'm already looking forward to my next dive...
