JULY 18-19, 2026
What an extraordinary midyear weekend! Looking back at everything accomplished together, we couldn't be more proud of what this community has built.
Beyond the milestones, what made this weekend truly special was seeing divers from different freediving groups unite under a shared passion, coming together with one heart and one purpose.
This wasn’t just a midyear gathering, it was a true reflection of everything we stand for: protecting our home, equipping ourselves to care for one another, celebrating our journey, and sharing our deep love for the blue.
To kick things off on Saturday morning, the family hit the shore and the sea for our coastal and marine cleanup drive paired with fundives, making sure we leave our ocean better than we found it.
We then shifted gears to observe National CPR Day by learning and sharpening vital life-saving skills, empowering every single one of us to be a safer diver and community member.
By Saturday night, we traded our wetsuits for good food, laughter, and a wonderful midyear celebration under the stars and wrapped it all up with a full morning of line training and fundives on Sunday.
None of this incredible weekend would have been possible without the wonderful people who pitched in. From all of us at Bucear Bicol, a massive thank you to the Philippine Red Cross - Albay Chapter for the essential CPR training, and to our sponsors ’s Corner - Angela Marie Pacres, , Oragon Freedivers, and Personal Collection for helping make this event a success.
To every single diver, coach, student, and friend who showed up, THANK YOU for bringing so much heart, energy, and dedication. Here’s to bridging communities, diving deeper, and making a lasting difference both in and out of the water. Cheers to the rest of the year! 🥂
