We at Ocean Sports Dive Shop are so excited to bring this opportunity to all of our divers, SCUBA and Freediving alike! We can't say enough good things about this world renown,Freedivng Spearfisherman, Dan Silveira who constantly challenges himself with making more and more records every year. He's the youngest diver to ever win the Pacific Coast Championships four times in a row! So to say the least, we're incredibly excited for Dan to come down to our shop and teach eight (lucky!) students the Level 1 Freediving Course. Upon completion each student will each receive an official c-card and course certificate through F.I.I. (Freediving Instructors International), USA's #1 Freediving Education Program. We have very limited space with only alternate spots left, so put down your deposits as soon as you can!

And to further everyone's experience and enjoyment of this opportunity we are becoming dealers of the amazing international freediving gear OMER. Now don't just take our words on how advanced their freediving and spearfishing products are, but definitely take Dan Silveira's word for it. Here are some photos of Dan's spearfishing conquests while using their gear, and a couple videos he made while wearing the Liquid Image Dive masks that can do HD Video and High-Res digital photo stills.

We are NOW in Old Town Lompoc!
