For anybody interested, there will be a No Bubbles beginner/intermediate freediving course held in Wellington from Friday 19 (evening) through Sunday 21 June.

These courses are an excellent way to have a real go at freediving, wether you're just starting out or you're a regular spearo. A host of topics are covered over the weekend, with theory sessions, time in the pool and even some line diving in the ocean. Physiology, technique, safety, breathing and training suggestions are all explored, while the practical sessions give students a chance to push themselves in a safe and comfortable environment. These courses are highly recommended and are great fun too.
