Diving Free Hawaii is about infusing the human elements of mind, body, spirit to the ocean world that will allow the diver to intimately interact with the environment. Diving Free Hawaii offers three distinct levels of development, each one designed to enable divers to reach their full potential in the water.

World renown author, underwater photographer and free diver, Carlos Eyles has developed these programs based on his personal experiences of over fifty years of diving on a breath-hold in the ocean.

These programs are an exploration into the sea as well as the self. Says Carlos, "To operate effectively in the ocean on a breath-hold one must first be relaxed. To be relaxed in the body as well as the mind fosters a high level of awareness. Thus opening the diver to a more direct experience with the ocean."

Diving Free Hawaii
(level one for beginning divers)

Dive sites are of special significance, offering the very best of Old Hawaii underwater. Here the new diver will spend from four to six hours learning the nuances of the ocean world, as well as the techniques of free diving that will enable him or her to get remarkably close to the ocean’s inhabitants on a breath-hold dive.

Sea Stalking
(level two for intermediate divers)

Sea Stalking is shore based and is often used in conjunction with level one if progress there is swift. Here the participant will be trained in stalking skills, and provided various camera systems in their development of underwater photography skills on subjects ranging from turtles to dolphins. Again relaxation in the water is the focus on these deeper dives.

Blue Edge Hawaii
(level three for advanced divers)

Blue Edge Hawaii is boat based for an entire day. here the diver will become accustomed and ultimately relaxed while free diving in limitless water and encountering open ocean sharks, fish, and dolphins. This training is specifically designed for acclimating to extreme ocean conditions for purposes of photography, film making and blue water spearfishing. One must progress through level two to qualify for this level.

Each training level probes the psychological barriers that weigh against the free diver, primarily the dilemma of the fight/flight response, and the recognition and elimination of vulnerability one feels while on a breath-hold.

Each training level explores the development of the intuition as a way to connect and thus function in the ocean world. The intuition becomes the compass that not only directs the diver but alerts them to danger, and in general raises their levels of ocean awareness.

Each training runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lunches will be provided.

All lessons are private at the rate of Sixty dollars an hour.
