Diving in New Zealand
New Zealand boasts some of the world’s best competitive freedivers, with our athletes training regularly and are always ready to help those wanting to get into the sport with advice and guidance.
As well as being a competitive sport, the New Zealand freediving community is also a sociable and relaxed group of people with a variety of watersports backgrounds. Freediving training can be used to supplement off-season spearfishing conditioning (many freedivers are also spearos), as well as underwater rugby, underwater hockey, competitive pool and open water swimmers, as well as fin swimmers and the occasional snorkeller.
