Neal comes from a background of Nature Connection Mentorship and Wilderness Therapy Guiding/Rites of Passage work culminating with an educational in-water experience that is authentic, inclusive and motivating. Tapping into our innate aquatic human potential serves us as a refreshing reminder of what we are capable of and a skill from which we better get to understand ourselves and explore the underwater environment and its inhabitants. Neal transitioned from teaching with SSI(Scuba Schools International) as a Level 2 freedive instructor to now working with FII(freedive Instructors International) and since has mentored Hollywood movie stars and stunt people aside from becoming a stunt diver for Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever.Have also taught United States Special Forces, SEALS and other military personnel clients along with a spectrum of people from varying water experience wanting to become safer deeper freedivers. Neal didn't have natural aquatic talent growing up, having learned swimming when he was 8yrs old and joining the swim team his senior year of high school to overcome his fear and anxiety of feeling trapped or stuck in the water.Through the process of pursuing the uncomfortable he came across freediving and spearfishing from which he did a living project procuring most of his protein for the ocean aside from foraging and farming on the SE land of Big Island. Spearfishing to provide grew into a meditation, of which inspired him to learn how to teach freediving in Panglao, Philippines. When he's not in the water you can catch him hiking, playing soccer or jiu jitsu, doing handstands, cycling, at the gym, doing stunt gigs or enjoying sunsets.
