Fresno California is located at N 36 degrees 45 minutes, W 119 degrees 45 minutes.
The direct opposite (antipode) location would be in the Indian Ocean, both south and east of Madagascar ... at S 36 degrees 45 minutes, E 60 degrees 15 minutes.

I can't find it now, but I remember seeing online a map that if you clicked on any point on the earth, its antipode (the point opposite it on the globe) would be highlighted.
At this place, there is a map that shows the opposite point on a static map.

Opposite Fresno is a point in the middle of the Indian ocean.
