The local freediving community is rather healthy on Oahu. Late last year we started running our scuba boats bi monthly for dedicated freediving charters, to local wreck and reefs sites that not that convenient to access from shore. They are BYO gear charters, buddy system enforced, and proof of formal freediving training required. Dives are not led in the water. This somewhat bareboat experience however is only $40 for a 3 hour (approximately) trip. It has been fairly popular. We are only running them on Sundays as this coincides with the target depth dives we are teaching for SSI Level I and Level II courses.
To further support the local freediving community we are running $15 weekly pool practice sessions.
We also are willing to work with insured freediving instructors to supply boat support for their courses. I am not a regular DeeperBlue participant, and as a small business owner that is 90% scuba, I probably won't be spending a lot of time on the forums. It should be encouraging to freedivers that at least some well established scuba operators are see the benefits of serving the freediving community. Feel free to contact me at matt@islanddivershawaii.com
