Daniel's assistant instructor, Kristin Kuba, is also an accomplished and active competitive freediver. One of the youngest females in US freediving, she has set 4 national records and is diving to depths over 90m/295ft.

 

 Kristin has an immense passion for the sport and enjoys sharing the world of freediving with others. Freediving has been life changing for her and she believes it can be a healthy addition to anyone's lifestyle.  She aims to help grow the community here in Hawai'i and bring more awareness of the sport in the US. 

The Fii ( Freediving Instructors International) education system that we offer sets the standard in Freediving Safety as we were the first ever freediving education system to be insured. These courses were created and developed by 13x freediving world record holder Martin Stepanek. Daniel Koval, owner of DFI (Deep Freediving Instruction) , is a student of Martin's and has gone on to become the deepest freediver in all of North America diving to depths over 110m/360ft on a single breath of air. Daniel started his freediving school in 2011 and has been making the freediving and spearfishing community safer with each and every course.

 

Daniel not only teaches freediving at the highest level, but also competes internationally in the most prestige competitions around the world. His dedication to the sport has earned him 6 US National records, 2 North American Continental records, and 2 consecutive years of bronze medals at the CMAS World Championships. With over a decade of experience free diving, Daniel has been able to share his incredible amount of knowledge in the sport to help others progress steadily and most importantly safely.

Veronica was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Being in the water is a way of life for her. Most of her time growing up was spent on or in the water playing Find The Treasure with her family. The beginning stages of her freediving experience was playful and recreational. As an adult she worked as a pearl diver for entertainment purposes at a theme park in Orlando, FL. Once she moved to Hawai’i she learned there is an underwater culture beyond recreational diving and entertainment. 

Her desire to share with others her love and respect for the ocean ignited the path toward becoming a freediving instructor. Educating others on how to explore the underwater world is key for long term enjoyment of our oceans. She invites you to challenge your mind and your bodies so you can enjoy the whole world beneath the sea. “New depths are waiting for you.”
