GIVE BACK

PHILANTHROPY & LIVE FREE DIVING

Give Back with Live Free Diving

At Live Free Diving (LFD), we believe in giving back — not only to the ocean but also to the global freediving community and beyond. Our mission is to share the beauty of freediving and the ocean with those who might not otherwise have the opportunity or means to experience it. Through events, outreach, and partnerships, we aim to inspire positive change and foster a deeper connection to the sea.

If you or your organization would like LFD to attend or support your event, please contact us at livefreediving@gmail.com.
