On July 31–August 1, FreediveSafe hosted a hugely successful spearfishing safety event for 21 local youth in Kona, Hawai‘i. The students came from all over the Big Island, from Mountain View to Hamakua, and completed a Freediving Safety course with instructors Heidi Hoover and Sandra Hammel. Big Island native and USA spearfishing team member Justin Lee opened the event with a short talk on the importance of following proper safety protocols for spearfishing and how the training has positively impacted his freediving. The event was generously supported by local dive shops, Kona Freedivers, and Ali‘i Adventures, and it was covered by West Hawaii Today.
