What are the restrictions on spectators if we want to watch the competitors in action? Are non-participants allowed to scuba dive and watch the freedivers do their thing or is that not allowed?

We are very happy about spectators. Both for static in Club Serena Resort and also for the deep freediving in Tongo bay.
There will be an extra boat available only for media and spectators to watch the depth disciplines.
Spectators can watch in the water (away from the competition line and warm up zone) while snorkeling/freediving.
Sorry, but except for accredited photographers and videographers no other SCUBA divers will be allowed for safety reasons.
The event takes place in deep (120m) blue water with no reef or any other reference closebye.
