WALLIN'S DIVE CENTER
Modern Freediving & Spearfishing Techniques

> see schedule below

We have one of the most popular freediving clinics in Northern California -- so sign-up early.

Ever wondered how some individuals can reach depths in excess of 100 feet using only the air their lungs can hold? Have you ever said to yourself "There must be something more to this...?" What are you waiting for?!!

Prepare to be re-introduced to the ocean as you know it with Wallin's Modem Freediving and Spearfishing Techniques class, where you will gradually increase your comfort level gradually during an action-packed day of pool, slides, and lecture ! This class will give you the tools you need to become a better freediver.

Breathing techniques, conservation of movement, streamlining, and the physics of freediving will all be covered during the class as well as safety issues, correct weighting, equipment, and hunting methods. These classes are limited in space and always fill quickly, each class having a maximum of 8 students.

Prerequisite: Must have some experience in cold water scuba or freediving.
