Apnea-Vienna

My name is Christian Schneider, Freediving Instructor, Certified Fitness & Personal Trainer, and much more. In 2021, after decades of passion for freediving, I made the best decision of my life and began my training as a Freediving Instructor.
Since 2022, I have been working as a freelance Freediving Instructor, and in 2024, I founded Apnea-Vienna. I am thrilled to share my passion with like-minded individuals. During my travels around the world, I’ve had the privilege of meeting top athletes and instructors from all over the globe. I use these encounters to exchange ideas and learn from them.

I place great value on creating a relaxed atmosphere and ensuring the highest safety standards, because only when you feel comfortable and safe can you fully unlock your potential and truly enjoy the tranquility of the deep.
Due to my passion for teaching, I am especially excited to inspire my students to dive into the world of freediving and introduce them to the breathtaking beauty of the underwater world. My drive is to continuously evolve, personally and as a freediver and instructor.

Courses and coaching during summer season take place at Neufelder See, which has a depth of 20m, and during winter season in a indoor pool, which is available year-round, except for a short summer break.
