The Timeless Way Into The Sea

Costa in a business suit and fins, walking across the sea floor — Costa Michailidis · **Founder, Costa Freediving** · FII Freediving Instructor

Freediving is diving on a single breath, and has been practiced from Ancient Greece to Japan and beyond across history. No tank, no bubbles, nothing between you and the water. Every human has the mammalian diving reflex that makes it possible, and almost nobody knows.

What happens next is extraordinary...

The Gold Standard In Freediving Safety

Martin Stepanek teaching a freediving class — Martin Stepanek · **Founder, Freediving Instructors International (FII)**

We learned to freedive, and to teach freediving, from Martin Stepanek: Thirteen-time world record holder, the first human to dive past 400 feet on one breath. Harvard studied his physiology. Martin built the first freediving schools, and pioneered the safety practices that save lives.

The FII Level 1 Freediver course and its essential safety practices are embeded into your client's adventure, so they get the same gold standard freediving education that took Martin safely to the pinnacle of the sport.

Safety DiverEach client has a dedicated safety diver with them on every dive.
Depth CeilingWe cap breath holds and depths within a generous safety margin.
Gentle ScreeningEvery human can freedive, but there are known health risks and we screen for them right up front.
