My trip to Kaş to do a Molchanovs Instructor Course with Cosmos Freedivers was way beyond what I hoped and imagined. I came for 3 weeks and stayed for almost 2 months, such is the beauty of the place, and more so, my experience with Taylan – I'm so grateful to have found such an amazing freediving Instructor Trainer. Taylan welcomed me with kindness, encouragement, and true professionalism, treating me as if I were his only student, his attention and care are unmistakable. I saw this not just in my own sessions, but with other freediving students as well: he focuses on each person like it's a one-on-one lesson, enthusiastically guiding, completely supportive, all while ensuring everyone stays safe, comfortable, engaged in their learning & development, and ultimately, enjoying the process. He's the consummate professional. And I am a much better freediver because of him. It's evident that Taylan genuinely wants the best for his students, drawing on his deep knowledge, vast experience, fantastic humour, humility, and passion for freediving. My 3 week course naturally continued into 4 more weeks of freedive sessions together, assisting with students, shadowing Taylan while teaching, and thus learning so much more than I expected. A truly unforgettable experience. Lastly, I stayed at Cosmos’ beautiful apartment complex only a 10 min drive / ride from Kaş center – a large gorgeous apartment, very comfortable, peaceful, fully equipped kitchen, and lovely neighbours. I highly recommmed it! Taylan and his wife, Seda, are two very kind and welcoming souls who made my stay so very special, so memorable, and it was a pleasure to get to know them both. I'm already looking forward to returning to Kaş for more time in the water with this warmhearted and inspiring Instructor Trainer, and to have more chats and laughs together over a cup of coffee after a fine dive session. Thank you, Taylan!!
