I don't run pool only courses any more. The good news about my courses is they are small max of 5 people per class, the bad news is they tend to sell out 3-4 months in advance. I will be adding more courses as I teach 2-4 courses a month year round. If you would like to be notified via email...
I run classes year around out of fort lauderdale. Here is a short video showing how I went from wearing a suit and tie into a professional freediver.
Below is a video that shows what goes on during my 3 day course as well as testimonial from the student on his experience.
Could you let me know what FII instructor told you that my courses only focus on depth and bottom time? That is not an accurate representation. If there was one thing that is a focus of my course its safety though that is the focus of any freediving course be it PFI or FII. Whether you...
You can read various reviews of people that have taken the session @ Skype equalizing session I've taught roughly 400~500 people to properly frenzel via my skype sessions. Almost every single problem any scuba diver or freediver has with regards to equaling will be fixed once you know how to...

The United States recently selected its 8 member team to go the 2012 world championships in Nice, France this September. I was selected to be the Team Captain and we are all excited to go represent the US on the world stage. We will be competing against countries all over the world in three...
3 simple rules that would increase safety. Getting people to follow these rules is quite difficult. Many people believe they are in tune with their body, they are not pushing their limits, and they are diving safe. Because of this, the rules don't apply to them.
Nicholas Mevoli took this first Immersion Freediving PFI Intermediate class in Dec of 2011. He was a 100ft diver at the time and maxed the course out at 132ft. He then hired me as a personal coach has been doing weekly brutal freediving workouts. He is a great student, listening and...
Here is similar concept. Here you actually riding on a scooter so you have complete control of whats going. I was on the winning team at PFI's Deja Blue first offical F3F scooter races. We had 6 teams of three competiting for a grand prize of $1000. It was the most fun I've ever had...
I will be at the Fort Lauderdale Divers Direct Drive and Dive Event this Saturday March 3rd from 10-2.
Divers Direct will be providing free hot-dogs and hamburgers. I will be giving away one free diving course, as well as offering discounts on courses.
This is from the divers direct site...
Matt a much safer method is to take a freediving class, and ALWAYS dive with a trained buddy :)
You can probably hold into the 1:30 -2:00 range before you see any drop. Here is why it doesn't drop for a while. Hemoglobin comes to the lungs loads up on O2 and then makes a trip through your...
Matt,
The answer to your questions about the advanced safety is quite in involved but I will try to answer briefly. I will be traveling to Cayman for the annual PFI competition in May and they have the best safety system I've ever seen. All of this advanced safety is because the competitors...
Yes taking a course does not stop accidents, taking a course and following the procedures 100% of the time on every dive does.
Just like taking a scuba course and deciding not to follow the safety procedures taught is clearly unsafe.
It doesn't matter than I can freedive to 200+ ft, have...
I did one demo at Vegas dema, with 8 scuba divers with no free diving experience. At the start the longest breath hold of the group was 47 seconds. After 15 minutes of training I had 6 out of the 8 do a 3 minute breath hold. One of them was an old scuba instructor friend of mine. I told...
Great thread!
I'd like to try to clarify some things in this thread.
Rule of 9's.
90% of the blackouts happen at the surface after the diver has taken 2-3 breaths. I show videos in my courses of people hitting the surface giving the ok sign and then going out.
9% of the blackouts happen...
One thing that might help is buy fin keepers. Austin's sells them. Austin's Diving Center: Fin Keepers, Accessories They do a great job of keeping the fin securely on the foot.
I suggest them to most of my female students because many of the smallest size men freediving fins are too big...
