As we head closer to the upcoming dive season we have a range of dive club activities, courses & trips on offer
Freediving is about diving on a single breath — no tanks, just training, technique and confidence in the water. Whether you’re curious about breath-hold basics or already comfortable underwater and want to go further, our freediving community in Wellington covers workshops, club dives and the odd deep dive into gear and technique.
Wellington’s coastline offers some great spots to get started, from sheltered bays through to the Taputeranga Marine Reserve, and our club dives run most weeks if you’d rather learn alongside other divers than go it alone.
