Practical sessions
AFC members will take small groups out to lake Pupuke for a guided freediving session from about 1pm.
All dives take place on a special freediving rig where the diver is attached to a rope during the dive. It is a safe and enjoyable way to experience depth.
Every session lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes:
- finding the right amount of weight you carry on your weight belt
- gear check and advice
- diving to 15m or less
- rescue practice
- tips and help from AFC members
Entry requirements

There are no entry requirements for prior freediving or spearfishing experience.
