PHILANTHROPY & LIVE FREE DIVING
Live Free Diving gives back not only to mother earth and our oceans but continues to create space, creativity, health and wellness efforts internationally by supporting those that care in the same way. LFD is dedicated to sharing Free Diving and the beauties of the ocean with those that might not necessarily have the opportunity or means to do so.
If you or your organization would like LFD to attend or support your event, please contact us at livefreediving@gmail.com.
-In August of 2023 LFD volunteered to participate in GoDiveTobago, a freediving certification camp to grow freediving in the country of Trinidad & Tobago while exposing US Freedivers to the rich culture of the Southern Caribbean. The success of the event has led to follow up events and training sessions. We plan to return again in 2024 to further spread the joys of Freediving.
-In September of 2023 we participated in DiveFest Barbados, a similar event to grow the love of diving in Barbados and the Southern Caribbean. We worked with Barbados Blue Watersports to learn about coral restoration efforts and participate in Ocean Cleaup events.
-Each year, Live Free Diving hosts women inspired freediving events for PADI Woman’s Dive Day. These events help to inspire woman empowerment and women participation in diving.
