The course leans towards the intermediate/advanced side of things and is more focused on deep diving than the pool disciplines so would suit spearos pretty well. Covers the usual important stuff like safety, physiology, equalising and technique. Plus some interesting bits and pieces like chest flexibility; mouthfill equalising and packing; exhale dives etc.

 

website is: www.indepth.net.nz, bit rudimentary at present but has all the basics. I'll be adding to it and shuffling things around over the next week or so.

 

I've just been down in Christchurch to give seminars on freediving at the outdoors expo, caught up with some forum members which was pretty cool. We'll be running a couple of courses down in Chch and Nelson later this Spring, both through Awesome Scuba and at a reduced rate ($380). Dates are Nov 27-29 and and Dec 11-13 in Christchurch, Dec 4-6 in Nelson. If anybody on the mainland wants to jump on these courses you can pm or email me: [email protected]

 

We'll be doing at least one course up in Wellington early next year (late Jan?), Tauranga and Auckland a bit later on. Other big plans too like a focused depth course in Taupo and something over in Rarotonga, but nothing concrete yet.

 

Nice one Mullins. 

 

How does 30th/31st Jan sound for an Intermediate spearo course, with Feb 13/14 as the contingency day for open water in case Welly weather gets in the way? I'll put it up on the site and see if we can get numbers; I'd run it with only 6.

 

Merci.
