Has anyone taken Ted Harty's Immersion L2

Has anyone taken this course? My goal is to be able to freedive at 110 ft. I am wondering if this course will get me there.

Re: Has anyone taken Ted Harty's Immersion L2

I’ve heard nothing but great things about Ted. I was fortunate enough to meet him at the past blue wild and he is a class act guy. I went from 80ft to 110ft going to my FII L2, I’m sure the immersion will help you progress just as well

Re: Has anyone taken Ted Harty's Immersion L2

Ted's the bomb. I took PFI Intermediate with Kirk and Mandy leading the course when Ted was training to instruct. He's really on point. And now, he's truly an expert on the material. Plus, you train at his house and go out on his boat. None of the shenanigans typical of the dive boats required to get these classes out in other scenarios. I've heard of dive boats cancelling for all sorts of reasons. They have to get in early for the next trip so if there are delays in setting up, etc. you may not be able to make your final target dive.

I highly recommend Ted.

Re: Has anyone taken Ted Harty's Immersion L2

I took Ted's level 2 class this past summer. Money and time very very well spent. Ted is a great teacher and I learned way more than I expected. Diving on his boat with only 4 other divers was awesome. I highly recommend Him. I learned everything I ever wanted about safety and more which was the main reason I took the class.

My max before class was 65'... easy stress free dives to 115' by day 4 and defiantly could of went deeper.

I'll forever have Ted in the back of my mind right before every dive saying "niiiiiiiccccee and reeeeeellllllllaaaaaaaaaxed" and that is worth its weight in gold.

Thanks! Would you be willing to chat on the phone for 5 minutes?

And let's not forget, also a former USA National record holder. So, he's not just regurgitating info but an actual Champion himself!

He was one of the PFI instructors when they taught a level 2 class in key west. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to about any of the material that they covered. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his courses.
