The combined educational results inside the platform
In total, Yannis Detorakis’ experience, in training freedivers and freediving instructors, exceeds 2,000 certified students, from 2001 to date!
The educational platform is a combination of practical training, teaching the complete theory of freediving and the digitization of Yannis freediving manuals into educational videos! It is, we could say, the pinnacle of the development of the abilities of the instructor and author, at a level, even more understandable and sought after by anyone who wants to engage and advance, in this beautiful sport!
Inside the educational platform, the knowledge of freediving becomes an impressive digital knowledge of image, sound, underwater snapshots of real training, presentation of 3D diagrams and animations of the freediving theory, which are now available with free access to all members of the platform to enjoy them, on any device: smart phones, tablets, laptops, PC desktops and smart TVs.
And the annual subscription to the platform, is fixed to a very friendly price, for example at half of what a printed book on freediving would cost!
