List:

I just attended a Freediving clinic in Miami over the last four days, and have to say that I was truly amazed at how much I learnt about breathing correctly, truly harnessing the power of the mammalian diving reflex, and about pre-dive preparation. We were confronted with dozens of staged rescue scenarios on the surface and at depth, and I even learnt how to manage someone's airway correctly (thanks Kirk;-))

I would urge you all to consider attending a clinic such as this one. Kirk and Martin are very definitely DIR is every sense of the concept. Presentation was superb, the course moved ahead very smoothly, and masses of useful information was given over the four days. It's also interesting to note that Kirk has spent quite a bit of time training Tanya Streeter.

Most of the students were able to easily get to 100 ft at the end of the course. One guy hit 130ft, I think? One guy did a static apnea of 5 min, 15 secs, and more than a couple went beyond 4 minutes. Oh, and Martin incidentally holds the static apnea and constant ballast record.

I could rant on forever but could never hope to do this course any justice. Kirk and Martin are complete pros, and are willing to travel worldwide to conduct their clinic. I can honestly say that what I have learnt has massively changed the way I dive.

Like I said, seriously look at this course. No SCUBA agency including GUE has even come close to addressing any of the issues that were taught.

Cheers,

Christos

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.

For over 7 years, 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 2300 students to dive deeper, longer, and safer. Let us show you how!
