Dan Silveira is certified as a Level 1 and Level 2 freediving instructor for Freediving Instructors International.

His up coming classes are listed below with their corresponding locations.
The Freediving Instructors International certified courses are designed in a comprehensive format, specifically targeting safety and self improvement.
The common misconception of becoming a freediver is that it takes 10 to 15 years of hands on experience for you to become efficient. Freediving is considered to be primarily skill based sport, therefore the right course focusing on the right skills and knowledge to be developed in the correct order and format can not only save you years of trial and error, but can also save your life.
F.I.I. freediving programs have the highest safety rating in the industry yet it provides you all the knowledge and tools to reach your goals. Whatever your interest might be, swimming along the reef, extending your bottom time, deep water spearfishing, or marine mammal interaction, F.I.I. has the right program for you.

The foundation blocks of the F.I.I. educational system are the Core Courses divided in three levels, teaching everything from the fundamentals of safe freediving, to the skills of utilizing the mammalian diving reflex then onto training techniques of adjusting ones physiology to become a better freediver. Specialty Courses offer the participant specific training and expertise in the realm of interest.
