North America's largest and leading freediving education program leading the way in modern freedivng training. F.I.I. is the only freediving education curriculum in the world accepted at a collegiate level. WHAT F.I.I. MEANS TO YOU: - THE HIGHEST SAFETY STANDARDS IN THE INDUSTRY - HIGHLY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS PROVIDING STANDARDIZED, EFFECTIVE CURRICULUMS - MODERN MULTI-LANGUAGE TRAINING MATERIALS - FULLY CERTIFIED AND INSURED F.I.I. was founded by Multiple World Record Freediver and pioneer in freediving education, Martin Stepanek. When you learn freediving from any F.I.I. certified and fully insured instructor, you know you are getting the finest, safest, standardized freediving education available. From extensive freediving research conducted at universities such as the Karolinski Institute and Harvard, we are now developing a better understanding and learning the true value of the mammalian diving reflex. Integrating this groundbreaking research with ten years of extensive teaching experience and training of world class freediving athletes, F.I.I. has identified the key knowledge and essential skills to effectively train individuals in the sport of recreational freediving. Many freediving education agencies place less importance on technique and knowledge and more importance on performance. This ineffective teaching method offers the diver a quick performance increase that is quickly limited by poor technique, discomfort and eventual injuries. F.I.I.'s principles are based upon developing core techniques and understanding that, from this solid safe foundation, performance follows, and the true freediver evolves. F.I.I. has gone on to become the fastest growing freediving education agency in the world with professional and elite trained instructors in high demand worldwide. www.freedivinginstructors.com
