North County Depth Finders
The premier Spearfishing and Freediving Club of San Diego, California
NCDF exists to create space for spearos and freedivers to connect and develop their sport.
NCDF, which began as a way for veteran spearos to split gas and share stories, has grown into an invaluable local resource for helping educate and connect people interested in freediving and spearfishing. Club members follow our core values of selectivity, sustainability, and safety.
