Training with The Surreal Sirena has been a truly transformative experience. As a certified PADI Freediving Instructor, she embodies a rare combination of professionalism, deep expertise, and a calm, inspiring presence that immediately puts her students at ease.
From the very first session, it was clear that Christine approaches freediving not just as a sport, but as a profound connection between body, mind, and the ocean. Her instruction is clear, methodical, and deeply rooted in safety—an essential quality in a discipline that demands both physical and mental discipline. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and her ability to explain even the most technical aspects of freediving in a way that is easy to understand is remarkable.
One of Christine's greatest strengths is her patience. She takes the time to understand each student’s pace and comfort level, creating a supportive and non-judgmental learning environment. Her calm guidance and thoughtful encouragement helped me build confidence and push past personal limits I didn’t realize I could overcome.
What truly sets The Surreal Sirena apart is the atmosphere she creates—one of trust, encouragement, and deep respect for the underwater world. Whether guiding breathwork on land or offering gentle reassurance during a dive, she brings a grounded and intuitive presence that elevates the entire experience.
Beyond technique, Christine instills a sense of reverence for the ocean and the art of freediving. Her passion is evident in every interaction, and her ability to inspire while prioritizing safety makes her an exceptional guide for anyone looking to explore the depths—both literally and within themselves.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Surreal Sirena to anyone seeking not just a freediving instructor, but a patient, knowledgeable, and certified PADI professional who brings soul, skill, and serenity to every dive. - Breyanna Bombard··from Google
Christine is an amazing instructor! She is very friendly and super sweet. I highly recommend working with her! She made me feel so comfortable and walked me through the entire process so I knew what to expect because she knew I was nervous. She is extremely supportive and celebrated everything I accomplished, big and small. I really appreciate her help accomplish my goal of something new and challenging. I can't wait to work with her again in the future!

I absolute admire and respect this incredible fish so much! She’s not only incredibly patient and kind, but does her utmost to help her students excel! I had a bit of trouble keeping my head down as I freedive due to force of habit and Sura really gave me so many incredible insight and information that I know will be absolutely monumental for any diver or mermaid! :)
I’m so thankful to have been a student to such an inspiration of mine! Thank you Christine for your guidance and incredible encouragement ❤️
