Leena
AIDA Certified Instructor
Originally from Finland, Leena has lived on Maui since 2014. Freediving allowed Leena to connect with nature and herself in a way that no activity ever has. Her passion for this amazing sport has driven her to challenge her potential and find the deepest joy in the simple act of descending into the calmness of the deep blue. Her background as a yoga and fitness instructor are ideal for providing a motivational and supportive learning environment for freediving students.
Leena is an AIDA Master Instructor whose teachings focus on safety skills and building self awareness. She set two national records for Finland to 81m in CWT and FIM in September 2023 at her first competition.
