Importance:   High

Dear Kirk, Mandy and PFD crew:

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for what I learned at the recent intermediate class in Newport, California. It might be the best training experience I have ever had. The outcome in terms of performance exceeded my goals and I thought my goals were pretty high.

I started diving for spearfishing this last January (five months before the class) and dove a total of eight days before I took the class and never dove deeper than 30 feet. While I did quite a bit of pool work in preparation, I was still extremely pleased with the static time (5:30) and depth (100ft) achieved at the class. Indeed time permitting, I felt I could have dove deeper.

It was great getting to meet my classmates and I hope to do some diving with them and you guys in the future. I believe I am a safer diver and look forward to taking your advanced class next year. Your exceptional professionalism, presentation skills and incredible knowledge of the sport convince me you are the best at what you do.

The physical and psychological benefits I received from this experience will never be forgotten. I would enthusiastically recommend your program to anyone seeking to become a better freediver. I considered myself interested in freediving before your class and now I really consider myself a freediver.

Warm regards,

Russ Anderson

Freediving or breath-hold diving is a type of advanced snorkeling and water adventure that allows us to experience the sights, sounds and challenges of the most natural of underwater experiences.

Human evolution and development has ingrained us with an underwater potential the same as our marine cousins, whales, seals and dolphins.

Without the use of underwater breathing apparatus, freedivers on a single breath of air can explore the underwater realm for minutes at a time with relative comfort.

Freediving is about the comfort and exploration of the ocean realm for recreation, spearfishing, competition or personal discovery.

Since it's formation in 2000, Performance Freediving has helped enthusiastic men, women and youth to explore the underwater world with expert training, support and products from the world's top freedivers.

PFI is North America's longest running Freediving training agency having taught over 3000 students to dive deeper, longer, and most importantly safer. Let us show you how!
