I have been spearfishing for a couple of years and wanted to know more about safety and properly diving to deeper depths. The course for freediving level 1 is very foundational. It's something that more divers including spearfishers should take for the safety aspects alone. The material was very straightforward and progressive. I never felt overwhelmed by information. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to have fun diving and increased safety. I can't believe how much I learned for the time and money I invested in the course. It's truly a bargain.

Andreas is great instructor. I learned so much under his coaching. I came away from the course with a far greater appreciation for safety. I was able to double my personal bests for time and depth - a truly awesome thing given this was only a two day course. And it was a very fun course. Andreas' style was very inviting for all of the class participants and we bonded as a team. I found his positive energy to be very enabling and that help people including myself to relax during the course exercises. A truly A experience all the way around.

Amazing instruction. Joe and Chad are both very high caliber teachers. There passion for this comes out in every word they say. My classroom time was with Joe, (who absolutely meets up to his reputation) and my time in the water was mostly with Chad. He was very easy to learn from. I wish I could have spent another day in the water picking his brain. I came to this course with my fiance, so we would feel comfortable spearfishing the rigs in Louisiana. Having been inside the rigs once before coming to Benthic for proper training, I now understand how stupid that was. If you want to get into this, you need to book a course.
