SI-Basic Freediving Safety

Assistant Instructor

Trained by Fii founder and World Record Freediver, Martin Stepanek, Matt is a Level 3 Freediver with >40 meter depth and a 4:30+ breath hold. His primary goal is quality free diving instruction, growing a community of excellent, safe free divers in North Florida and promoting appreciation for the precious Florida Springs. The freshwater springs and sinks are places of true natural beauty. Each as individual as a fingerprint. The lack of waves and controlled environment make for ideal training conditions, allowing the students to focus on learning and technique. Most courses are taught in this setting. However, lessons are available in salt or freshwater, whatever the student's preference. Matt is also willing to travel to accommodate private students. Matt provides top quality instruction in a private or semi-private setting (5 students or less). With 25+ years in Emergency Medicine , students can rest assured they are in good hands.
