“I’m a PADI Dive Professional and I have been teaching scuba and other scuba professionals for 17 years. After meeting Bob at the springs one weekend, and talking with him about freediving and what a course would teach me, I signed up for his PADI Freediver course. The course was fun & informative, and challenging in the best ways! Bob was very knowledgeable and did a great job of passing his knowledge along to us. All of the course’s activities, (classroom, pool and dive site, ) were conveniently in one place, which made scheduling and logistics very easy. While I loved the freediving at the dive site, I’d say that the Static Apnea training we did in the pool was my favorite part. It was just me challenging myself, and I was really surprised how well the breathing skills Bob taught us helped my breath hold times!!! I’m super excited about all I’ve learned and pretty sure I want to learn more. Advanced Freediver course, here I come!!!”

(COURTESY OF GO NATIVE FREEDIVING)
Blue Water Freedivers Master Freediver Instructor Bob Fanok has been fascinated by the underwater world and passionate about all watersports including diving since an early age. A PADI-certified Rescue Diver (SCUBA) since 1994, Bob had been actively scuba diving for a number of years when he became enamored by the mixed-bag of freedom, relaxation, challenge, and excitement that freediving offers.
His passion for freediving has only intensified over the years, and he’s recently had the privilege of training with 18-time world record breaking world champion freediver William Trubridge at the iconic Dean’s Blue Hole in Long Island, Bahamas. As an insured PADI Freedive Instructor, recipient of the PADI Elite Instructor Award for 2020 and 2021, and DAN CPR and First Aid Instructor, Bob trains all freediving levels from beginner to competitor, and is excited to share his knowledge and experience with those interested in this extremely rewarding and self-challenging sport.
