# 0 Freediving Instructor Exam

Instructor: Errol Putigna

What can I say Errol is the man! Honest feedback even though sometimes it is not what you would like to hear he delivers the message on how to accept your faults with a plan to get better. You can tell his passion is teaching, and Makes me want to strive to be a better human. I have already implemented techniques of his in my daily life and applied some of the methods when training with my teammates. Overall stoked and honored to have received my 9 days of fun from Errol!

# 0 Freediving Instructor Exam

Instructor: Errol Putigna

Every class I have taken with Fii has been better than the last, and has solidified my belief in the program and practices. I was blown away with my first experience with Joe Sheridan in about 2015 when I took Watermen's Survival with him, and his ability to calmly instruct and dissect every aspect of a dive to make us all better, safer divers. I took Level 2 with him 3 years later, and was again blown away. Joe has always credited Errol as being his mentor, so when I had the opportunity to learn from Errol, and have Joe shadowing, I simply couldn't pass it up. Talk about a dream team! They both bring such passion, personalization and professionalism to the table, that not only did I walk out a better diver and instructor, but a better person as well. I have been instructing in my industry for 20 years, and Errol was able to take my strengths and make them stronger, and my weaknesses minimize or disappear entirely. If you have a chance to learn from either of them, DON'T PASS IT UP! Masters of their craft, both diving and educating, I am forever grateful for Errol, Joe and the whole Fii organization. THANK YOU!!!

# 0 Level 1 Freediver

Instructor: Matthew Pasa

With no freediving experience, I attended the Level 1 class at Florida Freedivers with Instructor Virgil Price. Virgil took time with each of the students to make sure we were safe and successful. He gave me a lot of confidence and I was able to hold my breath longer and dive much deeper than I ever thought possible. I recommend Virgil to anyone looking to get into this sport safely.

# 0 Level 1 Freediver

Instructor: Oliver Haroun

What an amazing experience! I signed up for the level 1 freediving class with Oliver by chance when I googled a level 1 class near me and clicked on the drift freediving website. I had previously taken a level 1 course with Fl freedivers but was unable to complete the course due to weather and had a bad experience trying to reschedule so I decided to start from scratch. After I signed up for the course I stopped by the Drift freediving store located near my house and was pleased to find out that the man behind the counter was actually going to be my instructor for the course. Oliver helped me choose all the gear needed for the course and was extremely knowledgeable of the equipment and able to work with my budget I had for the course. This same personal relationship continues through the course with small class sizes and 1 on 1 instruction throughout all portions of the course. Oliver provided me with the knowledge and confidence to freedive safely to depths I never thought possible. Taking the course with my girlfriend ,who is also my dive buddy, I have a greater sense of confidence in the water knowing that we are both trained in dealing with the dangers of freediving and managing blackout scenarios. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to dive with and learn from Oliver and will continue to support a dive shop and dive instructor that truly care about the sport.
