🤿 Meet Bill Van Deeman — our PFI Freediving Instructor

Bill trains our freedivers from the pool to the depths of the Gulf. Here's why freediving and spearfishing here hits different 🌊

🪨 Gulf ≠ Caribbean
No coral walls — think fragmented ledges, springs & limestone bottoms holding steady resident fish populations available for freedivers to comfortably dive

🚢 Artificial reefs everywhere
Wrecks + concrete modules = concentrated baitfish & predator hotspots

🎯 Who you'll find:
• Cobia, amberjack, African pompano, kingfish (patrolling structure)
• Gag grouper, red snapper, hogfish (holding the ledges)

🤫 The stealth advantage
Fish sense pressure & sound through their lateral line. No scuba exhaust = way less spooking = way better encounters

🎓 Get certified — PFI Freediving Courses:
✅ Basic Freediver
✅ Open Water Freediver
✅ Intermediate Freediver

Courses cover safety, breath-hold technique, equalization, gear & the physics/physiology of freediving. Group rate available if you complete your sequence within a month!

📩 DM us or email [email protected] to book
📞 813-832-6669

Ages 10+ with guardian permission • Basic swim/snorkel experience required • Good health & fitness

🚨 Jerry just leveled up his dive game 🚨
Unboxing his CUSTOM Hollis BCD 📦🤿

Jerry didn't just order a BCD… he BUILT one 🛠️

Welcome to CRIB — the Hollis Custom Rig Builder. No limits, no compromises, just a rig made for how YOU dive 🔥

Why divers are switching to backplate & wing setups:
✅ Streamlined profile — glide, don't drag
✅ Perfect horizontal trim — stay flat, stay level
✅ Even weight distribution — no more jacket squeeze
✅ Rugged + modular — single tank today, twinset tomorrow 🌊

🐠 Bonus: better trim = less silt kicked up = happier reefs

Ready to build YOUR dream rig? Custom builds ship in 5 business days ⏱️ comes in all sorts of colors!

Had a very successful cleanup on Sunday with 289lbs of debris no longer around Julian B Lane Park! Scooters, tire rims, skateboards, plastic food and beverage wrappers, and more are no longer near downtown Tampa!

🗑 🛴🛵🛹🚗🥫🍟

Cleanups are a great way to spend a few hours helping clean up your community City of Tampa , while also getting a free dive in! We need kayakers, shore, and divers for these events.

‼️PLEASE HELP‼️ We need small onion or potato sacks to reuse for divers. If you have access to these, please don't throw them away!

Our next one will be in the Hillsborough River in September. You must be Advanced and Nitrox.

Thank you as always to Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful for helping us coordinate with the city and donating supplies.

Do a little good, be the change, and help out your community! 🌎
