Jacksonville Freediving

Looking to get my L2 certification this spring to put me in the 80-130 ft range. Trying to get an idea if anyone else in jacksonville freedives this deep. I know of one guy through the NF Dive Club but is there anyone else? I have access to a boat with numbers.

Hey, I just moved to the Jacksonville area. Looking for other divers.

I'm L2 certified and used to be an instructor.

Re: Jacksonville Freediving

New to Jax as well from San Diego. Got a boat, but promised the wife never to exceed sixty feet again. Saw one day near shore I should of jumped in as it had great conditions. Anyway, its a whole different ball game for freediving out here. Got all the gear needed and would love to go again.

Re: Jacksonville Freediving

Not many free dive up here. Kind of deep. Plus it's easier to scuba. No point in working that hard if you don't have to.
