Florianopolis, Brazil for April and May

[geo909]

Hi all,

I am going to Florianopolis, Brazil for the months of April and May
and I am interested in freediving. I want to find either a buddy or
instructor. Any chance somebody's reading it and going to be there
during that time?

I wanted to know how your trip turned out going. I will be in florianopolis from July 18-august 5th and would like to do some freediving and hopefully some spearing. What should I expect?

Hi,

The spots that I tried (east coast) were pretty windy and there was a lot of surf. Didn't seem to be the best place for freediving.
I had very limited time and could not leave the island, really. I must say that I didn't find any spot that I could dive while I
was there, but that doesn't mean that there's not any, I haven't searched very thoroughly.

I had found one instructor in Florianopolis here:

but she was not there while I was there. You may try to find somebody through her..

Good luck!
