Conservation Freediving
Nova Scotia is home to 13,000 kilometres of coastline, and to diverse marine habitats and rich biodiversity.
Dive into Nova Scotia’s underwater ecosystems with our conservation freedive team.
Using only the air in our lungs, we dive down to explore the rich ecosystems of Nova Scotia’s coastline. This allows us to experience first-hand the sensitive species and habitats that we work to protect.
Our conservation freedive team was founded in 2022 and is the first of its kind in Nova Scotia. Our team of certified freedivers is made up of biologists, videographers and photographers, conservationists, and trained outdoor professionals.
We believe that freediving can be used as an innovative and non-invasive tool for marine science and conservation. Our mission is to observe and document marine ecosystems, to help protect and inform marine areas that are vital to the health of our oceans.
We build strong relationships with the places that we strive to protect.
Our projects include collaborations with Indigenous guardians and scientists, data collection and biodiversity surveys, snorkel workshops with youth and diverse communities, local presentations to bring the underwater world to communities, and more.
Through our projects, we aim to help inform communities, stakeholders, governments, and youth about marine ecosystems, while inspiring others to access Nova Scotia’s Ocean playground and get engaged with marine science.
