Testimonials

The FII Waterman's survival course was eye opening to say the least. As a result of the course I feel more prepared for the big swells of the winter than I ever have and have gained a training partner / big wave buddy from the class who I have the utmost confidence in. I fully recommend the FII Waterman's Survival Course to anyone who is going out the ocean surfing or in rough water conditions. With big waves it's only a matter of time before a serious hold down, broken board or bad wipeout happens; the proper training may save your life or the life of another.

I just took the FII Level I class in Hermosa Beach last 11/19-20/2011 with Mark Lozano, and I think the $275 was well worth it. I have been freediving and spearfishing for over 45 years now, yet I found most--if not all--of the information given in the class to be new and absolutely relevant to me, especially the safety aspect. I'm now looking forward to take the Level II course. I urge everyone who freedives while spearfishing to seriously consider taking these courses.

FII's Level 2 was one of the greatest things I have ever encountered.

I just wanted to extend a very big thank you to all of you at FII for such an awesome learning experience. Martin Stepanek, I can't thank you enough for all the insight you've given us into the world of freediving. The knowledge that I gained in the Level 2 Freediver course is priceless and it has given me a completely different outlook on my personal freediving. During the 4 day course I shattered my personal bests!

I just wanted to tell you how impressed we all were with both the program and the instructor. We each surpassed our previous limits and really opened ourselves up to a new dimension in freediving.
