About The Event

FULL DAY - Freedive Coaching & Training Session - Vancouver, Canada

PLEASE READ (1) to (8) below. It's a lot to read I know, but there's plenty of info for you! 

1) EVENT DESCRIPTION:

A coaching and training session is intended for any certified freedivers looking to improve their skills. You've taken a course to learn the fundamental skills. Coaching will help you improve on those skills, dive deeper, have a better breath-hold, improve your technique and equalization skills. 

This is your opportunity to pick the mind of a professional athlete and deep freediver. 

During our FULL DAY training session, you choose which topics you want to work on. We dive on a fully prepared, professional setup with a maximum depth of 75 meters (260 feet). 

This course is suitable for anyone looking to dive deeper, train for competitions and become a better spearfisher.
