Aquatic Survival International (ASI) is based in the Hawaiian Islands and was founded in 2019. Our origins come from the world of competitive freediving and freediving education. ASI applies over two decades of specialized experience to our emergency breath-hold preparedness training program, essentially helping students to remain calm while ‘performing under pressure’ on a single breath of air in potentially life threatening situation. The difference between life and death can be a matter of seconds during a contingency breath-hold, every second counts. The need for specialized breath-hold training isn’t truly appreciated until it’s often too late, only after a near fatal or fatal accident has already occurred. Breath-hold survival emergency preparedness training has been developed to address the needs of big-wave surfers, ocean professionals, and highly specialized aquatic military units that are exposed to challenging and violent conditions ocean conditions, or find themselves underwater without an available air source due to equipment failure or an incident. Our training programs never stop evolving.
