# 0 Level 1 Freediver

Instructor: Mark Wallerstein

Mark was an exceptional instructor and diver. He demonstrated respect and patience for the students of the course and at no point did I feel unsafe with Mark in the pool or the open water. His method of instruction gave me a 40 ft increase in my dive in one day as well as 2 minutes added to my original static apnea time. Safety was always number one in his course and now I feel like a safe diving buddy and am now exponentially more comfortable in the water.

The level 1 course was hands down the best thing possible for anyone who is just getting into the sport of freediving or spearfishing. Before taking level 1 my max depth was about 30 ft with a hunting depth of about 15-20, which for a recreational spearfisherman is painfully average. When it came time to complete my open water session my new personal best is now 70 feet and my static apnea time went from 1 minute flat to 3 minutes and six seconds. F.I.I will open up a whole new door to the first time diver or anyone who feels they want to improve in the sport. I also now feel much safer and more comfortable in the water thanks to the new safety and rescue techniques that level 1 teaches. Thank you F.I.I.

Instructor: Joe Sheridan

"I can honestly say that taking Joe's [Sheridan] class has changed everything I thought I knew about freediving and handling uncomfortable situations in the water. I've surfed and competed on a professional level for over 10 years, and within that time experienced several "close calls" in some of world's largest surf. My comfort level has increased 100 percent with this course. Joe's knowledge, expertise, and demeanor are unsurpassed...period." "I can't "Thank" Joe, and FII enough for presenting this class to the public. EVERY watersport enthusiasts should take this course!"
