This is a small class so you must reserve a spot. Call or PM me. Merv

This class seems much more comprehensive and a lot cheaper than the one I took at Wallin's few months back. If I didn't already have plans this weekend, I wouldn't mind taking it again.

Shoot. Thats the same day as the MBK event. Can you let me know if they do another one in the future.

Check out the guys website. If you can get 6-10 people together then he will put on a class. I would love to have a NCKA training day where we get together and do some safe freedive training.


I have used a book titled        "Freedive underwater on a single breath" This is a very comprehensive book that covers everything. I have improved from reading this book and I would recommend it to everyone. You can order the book on Amazon. Checkout the website  "deeperblue""

Is anyone interested in doing some training together.

Opening weekend of archery season, I would be up for a Sun. class if there is a group

I thought you said it was a free dive class.

I had to work this day. If another day becomes available and I'm off I'd love to do it.
