PFI's First Freedive Club Up & Running

in the Bay Area


PFI alum and safety supervisor Mika Miettinen has been hard at work organizing local PFI-certified freedivers for adventures all around Northern California, from dive and spear trips in Monterey to putting on the first ever Tahoe Challenge freedive weekend at beautiful Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe.  

Mika's even planning an amazing trip in March 2017 combining freediving at 96 degree Homestead Crater in Utah with world class snow skiing!!!  

Thanks to Mika for heading up PFI's first freedive club and if you're interested in starting a PFI club in your locale, contact us for help and ideas! 
 
 
Equipment News

Just in time for the Holidays we thought we'd share with you our favorite dive gear bag.  This sturdy beauty is made by our very own PFI Instructor and founding owner of Gannet Dive Co., Garo Hachigian.  
It's light weight, sturdy as all get out, and made of heavy duty mesh that allows for flow through of water. PLUS, it's specially designed for long freediver fins.  The durability and function of this bag is why you see most PFI Instructors traveling the world with it protecting their gear!  

It's time to start thinking of holiday gift ideas for your favorite freediver!
