South Florida
With the Gulf Stream brushing up close to the region that extends from West Palm Beach through Fort Lauderdale and Miami, freediving spearos will find plentiful marine life and operators who cater to these types of diving.

Big Island of Hawaii
Consistently amazing viz in the North Pacific, plus the possibility of encountering curious humpback whales, pods of spinner dolphins and other exotic pelagics, draws freedivers (and top instructors) from around the world.

Grand Cayman
Experienced freedivers love the Kittiwake, and vertical walls plunging hundreds of feet offer a stunning backdrop for training. The thriving local community of freedivers means not only passionate, experienced instructors, but also strong camaraderie.

Red Sea
Home to heaps of world-record dives at the 300-foot-deep Blue Hole — which is absent of current and surrounded by marine life — the clear, deep waters around Dahab, Egypt, are famous for freediving, both competitive and recreational.
