Meet Heidi Hoover @merlifehawaii! Heidi is a popular @fii_freedive instructor, yoga guru @merlifeyoga, surfer and all-around waterwomen based in Kailua-Kona. She loves camping, backcountry hiking (Halapē, Waimanu), paddling (Kai 'Opua), surfing, and cares deeply about her community and ocean safety. Heidi will be leading our next FreediveSafe! Hawai'i course on Dec 19th in Kona with @moistmaninis.

Since launching FreediveSafe! Hawai'i in Aug 2020, our volunteer @fii_freedive instructor team have trained 39 Hawaii residents in safe freediving and spearfishing protocals. We look forward to making this training more accessable in 2021.

A big mahalos to everyone who joined us in Honolul

A big mahalos to everyone who joined us in Honolulu! It was a perfect day and our group breezed through the safety training with @fii_freedive instructors @deepfreediving @kristinkuba & Martin Stepanek. Our youngest student was 12 years old and our oldest student was 38 years old - essential training for all ages!

Some of the students feedback -

"I wish I knew this sooner!"

"Our whole ohana needs to attend this training."

"The safety skills are super intuitive and easy to learn."

"We grew up in the old school where everyone was diving over-weighted and alone. As soon as we got in the water everyone would just scatter! This training is so important for everyone."

Remember, freediving/spearfishing is a TEAM SPORT and both divers must follow these proven safety protocals!

It's one thing for you to be a safe buddy, but who's watching you? Who will save your life? Make sure your dive buddy's on the same page and trained to effectively handle hypoxic related incidents. No ones life is more important than a fish. If your dive buddy isn't watching you, then call them out and refuse to dive with them until they're willing to #freedivesafe!

Next course: Dec 19th in Kailua-Kona with Heidi Hoover @merlifehawaii and Chris Funada @moistmaninis at @konafreedivers. See you there!

Another #FreediveSafe! freediving and spearfishing

Another #FreediveSafe! freediving and spearfishing safety course in the books! It was a rainy day in Hilo and the swell was up, but we made it happen and everyone did a great job! Mahaloz for joining us Hilo crew!

Mastering the proper skills to effectively handle hypoxic related incidents saves lives and improves the safety of our local spearfishing community! Diving alone, diving with untrained divers, and diving over-weighted (way too much lead!) continues to be a major issue here in the islands. If you know someone who spears or freedives and they haven't taken any formal freedive training, please send them our way! Our freediving safety courses are FREE to the community and the @fii_freedive safety training is utilised by the top spearos and divers in the world. These safety protocals are proven to save lives and ensure our divers come home safe.

Our Hilo course was taught by FII instructors @misfit1214 & Martin Stepanek @fii_freedive. These two legends volunteered their time and expertise for Hilos ocean community.

Next course: We're coming for you OAHU!! See you this weekend!!! Our instructors will be @deepfreediving @kristinkuba and @fii_freedive.
