The Vancouver Apneist Club is hosting a series of pool training/practice sessions every second Wednesday evening at the UBC Aquatic Centre. We are renting two lanes of the pool for freedive training and skills development. New and prospective freedivers are welcome to come out but please contact us first.

Our pool time is from 8pm to 9pm but please show up at least a half hour earlier for briefing, stretching and gearing up.

We have rented this pool time so just tell them you're with the freediving group. We're charging a $5 drop-in fee to cover the rental cost.

See you in the pool!

The Mayne Island Conservancy Society has contacted the club requesting a team of freedivers for an extensive eelgrass survey on their island. Our group was highly recommended for our help with several other eelgrass surveys over the years.

If you take the ferry from Tsawwassen to Victoria, Mayne is the island to the left as you go through Active Pass. It is a beautiful island with several protected sandy bays, meaning lots of eelgrass habitat.
