Transformational Coach | Freediver | Speaker


Konstantin believes in the power of nature to help people reach their full potential. With a strong bond to water, Konstantin has dedicated his life to exploring the limits of human potential and helping others do the same.


Konstantin's journey began as a police officer before evolving into a trainer and coach for self-development and growth. As a professional freediving instructor for almost six years, he now uses extreme situations and experiences to train people in resilience, mindset and stress management, always with the help of the elements, especially water, ice and air, through the power of breathing.

Konstantin believes that being underwater on a single breath of air gives you the most direct access to your true self. He draws upon his extensive range of skills to dive into the mind of his clients and reconnect them with themselves, especially in water as the source of all life.

His background in martial arts and the police service provides him with a unique situational awareness underwater, making him a sought-after risk and safety manager on expeditions, record attempts, film shoots and any extreme in-water undertakings.

As a coach, Konstantin combines two of his greatest passions: being underwater on a single breath of air and teaching others to become fulfilled, happy, healthier and grow to their utmost potential.

Konstantin's expertise in risk management and safety are highly valued in the industry. Over the years, he has developed safety protocols for movies and TV shows, and has been hired as safety diver for expeditions, TV formats and national and world record attempts, ensuring everyone has an amazing experience and gets home safely.

With keynote speeches and workshops, Konstantin raises awareness on the topic of mental strength, stress management and personal development, referring to many situations and experiences from his work underwater to - in addition - raise awareness for marine conservation and vulnerable ecosystems.

Freediving really changed Konstantin's life for the better and he wishes the same for many others too.
