🌊💙 A big thank you to for sponsoring the Ocean Film Festival Canada!
Laurie and Fred, originally from Scotland and the Maritimes, followed their passion for the ocean all the way to BC. 🌍 After connecting through their love of freediving and spearfishing, they realized local snorkelers, freedivers, and spearfishers needed a dedicated shop. So, in March 2023, they opened East 2 West Freediving at 839 Fisgard Street in Victoria, BC. 🐠
We’re so grateful for their support and inspired by their commitment to building a community that shares the magic of the ocean. 🌊✨
