BRANDON ZEEK
Brandon Zeek is a passionate freediver and experienced spearfisherman. His journey began while living on Catalina Island in Southern California, where he was able to hone his skills as a freediver and hunter. Having lived there for six years, the experience and knowledge he has gathered is undeniably invaluable. The love for the ocean and his heart for people led him to participate in the organization Diving For A Cause. It gave him the chance to spearfish in places like Baja Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and New Zealand, as well as being able to give back to the communities in those places. Brandon continues to travel for and pursue the sport of spearfishing as well as freediving and daily witnesses the need for education in this unique community. With safety and responsibility being his primary concerns, he has passionately accepted the task of teaching safe and efficient freediving technique through FII. With Martin Stepanek and Mark Lozano as his instructors, he has received nothing but the best in training. Though experienced, Brandon continues to strive for personal best performances and is always seeking to learn more and grow as a diver and hunter.
