Best Freediving Spots! | Freedive Big Island | Puako | Kona Freedivers
In this freedive adventure, Byron and Zaz head North of Kona to Puako to check out one of the best freediving spots to freedive Big Island. Puako is known to freedivers and scuba divers for its numerous swim throughs and turtle cleaning station. It was a bit of a green day out there but we still had a blast playing on the reef and cruising among the many schools of fish! A stop at Kohala Burger afterwards made a great end to a great day. For more information on where to freedive Big Island or for gear and advice check out the links below.

    • @konafreedivers3970

      It applies for every dive. Your buddy should always be on the surface while you are diving as you never know when you could experience shallow water blackout.
