Freediving Gear

Campers signed up for the SSI Freediving courses must purchase and complete the appropriate eLearning package.  Campers are encouraged to bring the following gear with them to camp: 

• Low Volume Mask designed for freediving
• J-Snorkel designed for freediving
• Long blade fins designed for freediving
• Neoprene socks (3mm) - OPTIONAL
• Fin Keepers - OPTIONAL

NOTE: This equipment is designed differently than gear for snorkeling and scuba diving.  

There are several companies in the freediving industry that can provide high quality, entry level freediving gear at a better price than we can (from about $115 per set).  Our recommendations are listed below:
