About us

The Macau Freediving Association was established in the summer of 2017 and has more than 200 members so far.  In recent years, freediving has developed rapidly in various regions. The Macau Freediving Association is a spontaneous organization dedicated to promoting freediving for the people of Macau. This association gathers Macau’s freedivers, provides freediving consultation and training channels for members with the emphasis on dive safety.   It also organizes AIDA / Molchanovs / PADI international certification freediving courses, and arranges freediving activities, seminars and competitions.  It helps members to participate in international freediving competitions and communicate with other freediving groups around the world.
