Hi everyone!
I'm a 30 year old guy from France going to Japan for a year on a working holiday visa. I intend to stay mostly in Osaka and visit a different part of Japan each month for a week or two.
I'd love to explore the ocean around Japan (and the lakes too) so I'm looking for freediving buddies. Scuba is possible but I'd rather freedive.
Here's a video of someone freediving in different places: The first part of the video is at Yonaguni Monument in Japan. I intend to go there in October but my planning is flexible.
Also, someone recently told me about Jeju Island. Apparently there are female freedivers known as haenyeo that freedive to get clams and oysters (like the ama in Japan). I'd love to go and meet them. There's also a museum dedicated to their culture (Haenyeo Museum).
Feel free to reply below or send me a PM if you want to join me for some adventures or just grab lunch.
