Wave 4 / Lap 4 Instructor Trainers (W4IT/L4IT)

Adam Stern
ITD | W4IT
I have been a freediving instructor my entire adult life. For me, freediving is everything. When I work with students, I love finding out what they want from freediving, and then I tailor their education towards that. We keep the training fun, relaxed, and never push to the point of discomfort. I find that it's the best way to develop as a diver.
