About this event

Are you interested in the ocean? Are you keen to learn techniques to improve your snorkelling and freediving ability? Are you eager to meet likeminded rangatahi?

Join us on Saturday the 9th of November from 9am-12.30pm for a session at the Whangārei Aquatic Centre with Sacha Williamson from FreeDive Aotearoa. Get familiar with our Experiencing Marine Reserves Te Kura Moana (EMR) kaupapa, practice advanced snorkelling and free dive techniques, connect with likeminded rangatahi and learn water safety and rescue procedures. Suitable for rangatahi 13 years and older, with competent snorkelling abilities.

This event is funded by Tu Manawa. This event is a part of our Marine Mahi for Rangatahi pathway. Through this pathway we are looking to identify rangatahi to participate in further exciting marine experiences and one rangatahi (taitamariki) into a work experience and potential SCUBA training through our partnership with Dive! Tutukaka.

Please fill out the registration form below. Lunch provided following the training session. Event details and training plan will be sent out two days before the event via email.

Any questions do not hesitate to contact Pippa Benton (EMR Event Lead Coordinator) via email pippa@mountainstosea.org.nz or phone 0274444527
