  • Their understanding of what it takes to perform in demanding military environments allowed them to structure training that was both realistic and purposeful. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine investment in my success helped me earn the privilege of completing the course and joining the community of Combat Divers. I’m deeply grateful for their guidance.

  • We train on the surface all the time, but DEF opened up a whole new world underwater. It built a level of water confidence and mental toughness I’ve never experienced anywhere else. This training isn’t just for lifeguards — it makes you better at everything.

    - North Shore Lifeguard, JC

  • I grew up in San Diego surfing, spearfishing, and spending plenty of time in the water. I have always been comfortable in the water but was still seeking more experience. When I went to my first Mil Prep course with DEF, I was immediately shown areas that I could grow. My vulnerabilities were exposed and DEF gave me a way to safely work on them. I had done plenty of work underwater, but had no experience being put under stress underwater.I highly recommend DEF to any individual looking to join the military regardless of how comfortable they may think they are in the water.

    - Navy Seal, AB

  • This fitness programming was a game-changer in helping me pass the Combat Diver Qualification Course. His workouts were purposefully designed to build both my physical capability and mental composure underwater. Each training phase was structured as a progressive buildup—targeting breath control, endurance, and stress management—to simulate the challenges I’d face during the course.
