Welcome back to another episode of OceanChan. Many of you have asked about what kind of equipment is used for freediving. Freediving may seem like a sport which uses less equipment to scuba, but there are still several essential items required for a safe and relaxing dive.
As the weather this week has been ordinary, I will go through my equipment.
Items featured in this video include:
– Wetsuit (Mares 3mm Phantom)
– Fins (Cressi Garra Bi-Fins)
– Mask (Cressi Nano Dark Low Volume)
– Weight belt and weights
– Dive Computer (Mares Smart Apnea)

I've finally finished my freediving short film, reflecting on the small moments in life, freediving in Sydney and marine life. Hope you enjoy it!

music is loud and your voice is not clear enough
I’m buying my first gears for freediving this week! Your content was simple, straightforward and very helpful. Thank you!
Is a kayak+signal buoy better or a spearfishing float?
oh, i guess in your case you're diving with another person, and kayaking takes you faster to your point of dive.
but you said you dive close to shores and reefs, which isn't too far.
I also have a mares smart, but mine have both scuba and freediving modes
the only issue i had with it, was that in DNF, it switchs to depth diving mode at the 2meters deep side of the pool :/
If you have time please check out the last dive at Camp Cove, Sydney!

what camera do you use
I would strongly recommend some surface marker, even if you are not freediving where there is a lot of boat traffic. And nose clip, if you are training 😉
Dude awesome video, I've just started to think about doing a free diving course this makes me so keen to do it, but its sounds more complicated than I thought it was going to be!
When you upgrade your fins get some fiberglass fins, they have significantly faster rebound/snap back than plastic yet very durable for shore diving. And unless you do crap ton of offshore, carbon are a waste of money to only be destroyed on a rock.
Great vid BTW!!!
Another awesome video and great information, be safe brotha.
