You do not need to have taken the first level program.
My 4 day intermediate program is everything in the 3 day program plus more. I would not recommended starting in the 4 day program unless you are already comfortable hunting in the 40-50ft range. That is different than saying my deepest dive is 40ft, I mean that if you can dive in the 40-50ft range and be comfortable and have bottom time. Minimum age is 15.

Re: Immersion Freediving 4 day PFI Intermediate Jan 16-19 Fort Lauderdale
Please explain as I would take a class if I could just to expand my knowledge but with so many instructors out there with FII and Immersion who regulates all these instructors and certifies you guys to teach? I've been seeing a lot of guys offering classes on here and I'm very curious? Not trying to start any trouble but want to be informed as when I get back to the states I would like to sign up for a class.

Re: Immersion Freediving 4 day PFI Intermediate Jan 16-19 Fort Lauderdale
No worries, and excellent questions.
Freediving education works just like scuba education. In scuba you have all these different agencies, PADI, NAUI, SSI, TDI etc etc. The agencies set the standards for what is taught in their courses, they train the instructors, and they make the manuals and the certification cards for the course. You can walk into Bob's dive shop and get a PADI course, or walk accords the street to Bill's dive shop and take a PADI course. Both will be PADi courses, same book, same certification card, but your taking that PADI course through 2 difference businesses and instructors. In the USA there are two main freediving agencies. Performance Freediving International(PFI) and Freediving Instructors International (FII). PFI and FII regulate their own circumlium and regulate their own instructors. Immersion Freediving teaches PFI courses, so when you take a course with me, you will get a PFI manual and a PFI certification card. I'm a PFI Advanced freediving instructor and PFI Instructor trainer. I'm the highest rated instructor within PFI outside of the founder Kirk Krack. This means I can teach students to dive to a maximum of 200ft and that I can create PFI Instructors. In order to receive those ratings I had train with Kirk the head of PFI for years. I hope this answers you questions. If you would like to see what spearboard members have said about my courses you can see them reviewing my course here. http://www.spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=139481\ Find more about my courses @ www.Immersionfreeediving.com Why choose Immersion Freediving?
