Good morning to all new comers like myself. I am looking in getting into free diving and in hopes that i could get some help. I am from Hawaii. here we only use surf shorts and a pair of what ever fins and a snorkeling mask from wal mart. we try t stay a little cheaper when first starting off. but would like to know if ther is more to know about free diving. ive watched a lot of you tube vids and not one has really given me any tips on begginers free diving equipment that wont sink my bank.
 
Welcome to Deeperblue! We have a Freediving Equipment subforum as well as a Beginning Freediving subforum. There should be lots of advice in there. You can also use the search function or ask questions if those forums don't have the information you need.

A freediving class is also worth looking into. They're invaluable for the safety aspect as well as technique.
