WE ARE DEEP DIVISION
Deep Division is an international freediving community built around training, travel, education and shared ocean experience.
Our Story
Deep Division began in Kharkiv, eastern Ukraine, in 2017. Founded by World Champion and World Record holder Nataliia Zharkova, it started with three instructors training a small but passionate community at a local sports club.
Since then, it has adapted, rebuilt, and grown through challenges that could never have been part of the original plan. But one thing has remained unchanged: Deep Division brings together people who share a genuine passion for freediving.
DUBAI SCHOOL
And the Dubai school is led by Nataliia Zharkova, a world-record-holding freediver, AIDA Instructor Trainer, and one of the most experienced freediving instructors in the UAE.
UKRAINIAN SCHOOL
And now the Ukrainian branch is led by Natalia Rusak, a static apnea specialist and founder of the Ukrainian School of Breathing.
