# 0 Level 1 Freediver

Instructor: Errol Putigna

I finished the Level 1 course with Errol. This is a dedicated individual to his profession and the recreation for all of us! I enjoyed this course because he helped me understand the the safety necessary to dive deeper and much more relaxed. I have done a lot of unsafe practices in the past and Errol has helped me learn how to do it better and safer. His saying "Everyone is going home today" rang loud and clear when I think of the people who would be left behind that depend on me. I am buying his Level 1 course for my 25 year old son who is in the Marines and would benefit from this. Thank you again and I look forward to Level 2! Steve

Fantastic course focused first and foremost on divers' safety. If you or someone you care about is interested in freediving or spearfishing- Take this class FIRST. Errol made the subject matter fascinating and easy to understand. He is a patient instructor and his love and enthusiasm for the sport is contagious.Classroom and pool facilities were comfortable and convenient. All five students completed a 3 minute static breathhold on the first day in the pool after learning and practicing the basic techniques. On Day 2 we dove the top 66 feet in 500 feet of water offshore from West Palm. And most importantly, we all arrived home SAFELY to tell our friends and family what an awesome time we had.

It was once of the best things I've ever done for myself. The class is big on safety and you get to dive deeper. You just won't believe until you take the class. Errol is a great teacher and a blast to be around.

Great class. Good balance of class room, in pool, and ocean. Good amount of safety information too. 20 seconds down and 20 seconds back. If you can hold your breath for 40 seconds, you can dive to 66 ft.

Among the coolest things I've done this lifetime so far! Excellent course delivered by excellent, passionate instructors. They believe and live freediving. Safety is emphasized. Technique is practiced and applied. The open water drills were the best. Only a few miles from shore (West Palm Beach) the depth is 500 feet and clear. We students did a series of freedives as deep as 20 meters. I highly recommend this class and FL Freedivers.
