Claire Kemp - Founder

It all started by growing up on the beautiful Isle of Wight, enjoying lots of time in the sunshine and exploring the sparkling seas. Claire developed a deep respect and love for the ocean through family sailing trips and scuba diving, becoming a PADI OW Instructor in 2010. She became fascinated watching a new group of divers, all hanging about on the surface, who seemed so chilled whilst having fun so started Freediving in 2016, instantly falling in love with the freedom from bulky equipment and the peace below the waves. With minimal equipment and a new relaxed tribe of buddies, Freediving became her new passion.

Wanting to share this wonderful world with others, she struggled to find a local freedive training provider, so Claire decided to start her own school, providing PADI Freediving courses, pool training and trips. With the support of her husband, friends, first class instructors and inspiring yoga teacher Emma Spencer-Goodier, Esprit Freedivers were born and now has a growing a community of freedivers having fun together. If you're interested in trying it out or joining us for training, adventures days or trips, please get in touch.
