Kirk, Mandy & Andy:

It was a great experience for me attending the Performance Freediving clinic at Kona, I learn a great deal about breathing techniques, diving (swimming down and Sink Faze) and weighting ourselves for free diving. As a physician and free diver spear-fisherman with 24+ years of experience, I was very well impressed with the knowledge about physiology of freediving, respiratory and cardiovascular system that you taught us and demonstrated during the classes. You put it in layman's term  and everybody was able to understand it easily and practice during the class and experience ourselves. What you show us about the mammalians breathing reflex was great.

After that class I consider myself a better freediver and I raised my standards about safety to a maximum level. Although I am freediving spearfishing now deeper than ever 120'+ feet I' am very comfortable and relax due to The buddy system we learn during the classes. I've been practicing at home, "DRY" following your O2 / CO2 tolerance tables and stretching exercises and I am amazed of myself for the improvement I' am achieving every single day.I can't wait to attend the Advance Course to complete my training.

I'll be always grateful to you for sharing your experience with me and teaching me some important secrets of the APNEA world,

Erick M Salado, M.D. Miami, Florida

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!
