Not for this trip! This trip is built as a catch-and-cook style spearing trip, which means we’ll eat everything we catch and whatever we don’t eat will be donated to the local village where we’re staying.

So leave the freezer bags at home!

With the remote nature of this trip and challenges we can expect to face in the water, we are only opening this trip up to intermediate and advanced spearos!

But don’t worry, we have other beginner friendly spearing trips in the pipeline so keep your eyes on the website for updates!

Unfortunately you have to have joined us for a Deep Week or one of our multi day events in Australia in the past to be able to join us at a Freediving Family Reunion.

We do this because, not to brag, but theres something special about our events that you just need to see to fully experience! But don’t worry, we will be running more and more reunions as we move ahead so you will have plenty of opportunities to join us in amazing places around the world.

In the mean time, check out our upcoming Deep Week dates by going to the Deep Week tab in our menu and join us for our next Deep Week! We are going to be in Bali running a Deep Week literally the week before this adventure begins. Why don’t you join us there!

Due to the unique nature of the events and how each one is individually planned, we are only able to transfer your deposit to a future Freediving Family Reunion and only if you have requested the deposit to be moved no closer than 6 weeks before the event begins.

In the event that you need to cancel your spot between 6 weeks and 2 weeks of the event starting, we do charge a fee equal to the event deposit. Any balance remaining can be applied to a future Family Reunion.

If you need to cancel within 2 weeks of the event starting, we cannot move your balance to a future event.

We cannot issue refunds.

For more info, check our terms of service.

Any spearing equipment is included but any other freediving gear (i.e. wetsuit, fins, mask, etc.) will be available for rent. Lead will be provided but weight belts will not so please bring your own if you have it!

The water in Indonesia is pretty warm! Usually between 27-29C. So a 1.5-3mm will be perfect. Marissa likes to wear a 3mm open cell top and leggings for bottoms - but she runs cold!

Usually partners and family members are welcome to join any Freediving Family Reunion, even if they haven’t been to an event before. However with the nature of this one we ask that your partner or friend also be an intermediate or advanced spearo and have at least a Wave 2 or equivalent freediving certification!

You can pay an initial deposit to secure your spot and 6 weeks before the reunion begins the remaining balance is due.

With no deposit, there is no booking confirmed.

As soon as you book in, you will receive an email with a button that says “Pay Remainder Balance”. We ask that if you are booking on within 6 weeks of the event starting, you continue on to pay the remaining balance as soon as possible!

We ask the full payment to be covered six weeks before the start of the event.

You can also choose to pay in full upon checkout.

For this event, we have “add ons” available that will determine which bed you get along with if you want to sign up for the after reunion. These options are available upon checkout.

You can pay with a credit or debit card on our website. The payment is securely captured through Stripe. PayPal transfer or crypto are also options. If you would like to pay with PayPal or crypto, please contact Marissa at deepweek@freedivingfamily.com and she can assist you.

Nothing during the retreat is compulsory.

If you feel like you need some time to chill and relax by skipping a session, then by all means do so!

As Brandon always says, this is your vacation and you get to decide how much or little you want to do!

If you do decide to skip an activity, you are not entitled to a partial refund on the event.
