Spearfishing/Freediving Safety for Hawaiʻi Youth: FreediveSafe has been hosting safety awareness events since August 2020 to help combat the rise in freediving and spearfishing-related fatalities across the islands. These events bring together youth and parents to share essential freediving safety knowledge, demonstrate proper safe diving practices, and build a culture of awareness and responsibility in the water. By creating accessible opportunities for young divers to learn from skilled mentors, we aim to strengthen community safety, honor our relationship with the ocean, and ensure that the next generation of watermen and waterwomen can dive with confidence, respect, and key safety skills needed to prevent tragedy.
