Υannis Detorakis has the richest freediving training resume in the world, with more than 2,000 certified graduate freedivers and instructors in the last 25 years. He is one of the first CMAS instructors in Greece in 2000 and the first PADI freediving instructor in the world since 2004 (Freediver Distinctive Specialties) and one of the first PADI instructor trainers in the world in 2016 with the establishment of the PADI Freediver levels. He is the designer of the PADI Freediver, Advanced Freediver, Master Freediver programs, as his own specialties at PADI since 2004.

Yiannis Detorakis created the freediving education platform in 2026 based on his freediving books from 1995. His book series includes the technique of the first 10 meters (1st level), the technique from 10 to 20 meters (2nd level), the Freediving Physiology of the three levels of training, the Equipment of the three levels, the History of Freediving, the biography of Stathis Hatzis, Narcosis in Freediving and  CO2 Narcosis during Ascent at Record Freedives and many more books.

Based on the technique and theory of all levels from his books, Yannis Detorakis used his archive of thousands of underwater videos from the actual training of his students at sea, to create the large digital content of the platform, which will expand in the coming years as he adds to it the digitization of many more topics and techniques, such as topics of freediving physiology (ear pressure equalization techniques, lung equalization with the diving reflex, narcosis, decompression sickness, etc.).

The educational platform aspires to offer a wealth of knowledge that excites the new freediver with its simple and understandable content and goes so far as to solve the most difficult and complex questions of the most capable freedivers at the top levels of knowledge!
