Join our Learn to Freedive course: https://www.deepsouthfreediving.com.au/level-1-freediver-1
This is a free, casual meet-up, not a formal course, so please ensure you’re comfortable to look after yourself and always buddy up (you can find a buddy during the dive briefing if you come alone).
Conditions may change - check the discussion tab on the Facebook event for weather/location updates
We highly encourage car pooling to these events so we don't over crowd areas and keep a minimal impact. Keep your eye on the Facebook discussion for a car pooling thread.
Note: The only thing we take at social dives are photos, so please no harvesting of abalone, fish, or crayfish.
