Freedivers in Christchurch

[island_sands]

One of my students has just completed her AIDA ** course and she is moving out to Christchurch next week. She would like to hook up with any freedivers, gain experience, join a club if there is one, etc.

Anyone out there that I could put her in touch with? :wave

 

[chrismar]

Yep, Gavin would be the man to talk to. I'll PM some details.

 

[Narsil]

Yeah, no club in Chch per se, but Gav would definitely be the first port of call.

If they can get a few more people on board, they might start being able to have regular training sessions down there.

I also live in chch and free dive. Spearfishing etc. Would be good to get some sort of training club in place. The chch under water club seem to spend more time talking about club politics and their lawn mowers then actually diving.

Yo Roddy we should T up another dive - Would you be down for a trip to okiwi sometime for a scallop session?

I think Gavin is pretty removed from it all now, but it's nice to hear that there are groups of divers forming. Please get in touch with AIDA NZ www.aidnz.co.nz to be kept up to date with the national scene.

I (Deep South Freedivers) have got a training camp planned for Wanaka 14-26 Feb if anyone is keen to come and develop their skills. We'll be diving in the lake (currently 19 degrees on the surface) and the local pool and generally sharing knowledge in an absolutely stunning environment. I'm also offering courses, coaching and a general buddy service (if you're competent enough to safety me too) if anyone is keen to pop over.

Hi there!
I'm looking for a freediving/spearfishing partner in Christchurch? Just recently moved to area from Poland. Starting to dive deeper and longer.
I'm free on weekends and evenings.

There's a group of spearos that have started freedive training in Christchurch. I've put you in touch via email, so you should get a reply from them soon.
