*Will travel to teach* Zachary Small is the founder of Hypoxic Hunters, & the manager of Spear America Fort Lauderdale, FL Zach grew up in Minnesota, where his love for water sports grew in freshwater lakes. He became a competitive spring board diver at a young age, which later lead him into doing stunts shows, mainly focused on high diving for the past 13 years. During this time, Zach gained interest in spearfishing, and because of this, found his first freediving course. After completion, his love for the sport grew quickly, leading him to take as many freediving courses as possible. Shortly after, he quickly decided to share his love for the sport, taking his first instructor course with 13x world record holder Martin Stepanek. Later taking his spearfishing instructor course with John Dornellas. Zach's knowledge quickly grew, as did his love for teaching it to others. From teaching freediving to absolute beginners in China, to teaching the prince of Malaysia how to spearfish, Zach travels all over the world to offer both classes and private coaching to everyone. His main location is based on the east coast of the United States. He now travels full time to teach, and spends his free time building diving equipment such as spearguns and knives. Feel free to reach out for all and any questions regarding classes, coaching or gear.
