Martin Stepanek is a freediving pioneer, having gone to depths never before - over 400 feet on a single breath of air. He claimed his first freediving world record in 2001, and has since gone on to become one of the world's top freedivers in history, setting 13 world records throughout his competitive career.

Martin's strong desire to improve the effectiveness and safety of freediving education led him to start Freediving Instructors International(F.I.I.). Martin has trained thousands of students worldwide utilizing this proven freediving training method including some of the world's elite sportsman and women.

When he's not traveling around the world, Martin lives in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii where he enjoys teaching freediving and hosting the FII Kona Freediving Camps.

Martin is available for public and private freediving courses and training sessions. For more information, please email stepanek@freedivinginstructors.com.
