Ocean Freediving International was founded in 2010 and is based in the Hawaiian Islands. Ocean Freediving specializes in several areas ranging from introductory freediving courses (The Art of Freediving / Freediving 101), high-performance athlete development, and emergency breath-hold preparedness training. The difference between life and death can be just a few seconds during an emergency breath-hold, every precious second counts. The need for specialized breath-hold training isn’t appreciated until it’s too late, only after a near fatal or fatal accident has already occurred. Breath-hold survival & preparedness training has been developed and refined over the years to address the needs of big-wave surfers, ocean professionals, and highly specialized military units that may be exposed to some of the most challenging and violent conditions the ocean has to offer.
