We just finished our first FreediveSafe! Hawai'i e

We just finished our first FreediveSafe! Hawai'i event in Kailua-Kona, and it was such a fun course with a bunch of awesome spearfishers and divers. A huge mahalo to our incredible @fii_freedive instructor team Martin Stepanek and Heidi Hoover @merlifehawaii, for volunteering their time and expertise to host the FII Basic Freediving Safety course, and thank you to @konafreedivers for the facility use. The instructors had a captivated audience as they shared the dangers of breath-hold activities, how to mitigate these risks, and effectively manage freedive and spearfishing related low oxygen incidents. Everyone quickly realized they had been diving over weighted, which is a significant contributor to spearfishing fatalities/missing divers. The in-water rescue training was challenging but everyone got into the flow, and it was rewarding to see them effectively handle the different scenarios the instructors sprung on them. Well done! Overall, it was a great vibe and a fun learning experience. Congrats to the attendees!

After working hard to launch this non-profit, we're relieved to finally start getting more safe, formally trained freedivers/spearos out into the community. Formal freedive safety training can prevent spearfishing related deaths, and it's now available at no cost, so no excuses! Everyone needs this training and nobody is above it, hop over to our site and get on the list. As some of you have noticed, we have added an "Additional Comments" section to the website (www.freedivesafe.org), so when you register, you can now add a message 😊 We've enjoyed hearing everyone's story and motivation for taking spearfishing safety training. Your words of support and willingness to participate are propelling us towards a safer spearfishing community in the islands. Aloha, stay healthy, and we look forward seeing you at a FreediveSafe! event soon!

Freediving/spearfishing continues to be one of the most common activities among resident drowning victims, accounting for nearly half (5) of the 12 fatal incidents between January and July 2020.

These deaths can be prevented by adhering to some basic freediving/spearfishing safety rules taught during all FreediveSafe! programs.

Join us for a FREE FreediveSafe! program, and together, let's prevent freediving related fatalities in the islands!

Why Did We Start This Nonprofit?
From May 2020 to July 2020, we lost five members of the freediving and spearfishing community in Hawai'i. From these tragedies, FreediveSafe! Hawai'i was born with a mission to create sustainable, long-term change by launching a FREE community program to train divers in safe freediving protocols proven to mitigate the risks of this sport. Our instructor team is a group of world-class freediving professionals volunteering their time to bring this essential lifesaving training to our community statewide.
