Santa Barbara Freedivers

Watermen's Alliance Member Club

Santa Barbara Freedivers is a Santa Barbara–based freediving and spearfishing community that emphasizes selective and sustainable fishing and gathering, equitable access to the ocean, and building connection among divers. The club hosts regular news, resources, and opportunities to get involved with the local spearfishing and freediving scene.

The club typically meets on the first Wednesday of each month, with meeting details announced on their website, Instagram, and email updates. Activities include club records tracking, conservation discussions, and events tied to the Santa Barbara Channel and Central Coast waters.

As a member of Watermen's Alliance, Santa Barbara Freedivers contributes a Central Coast perspective to statewide advocacy for responsible spearfishing access throughout California.
