Freedive Safety Vest

  • Here is my friend Terry Mass's new freedive vest. I'll be in the market for one next year.
    Next week when I return from a Blue Water Meet I'll ask him to join here for comment and any questions.
    Cheers, Don

  • Don, do you know how long it takes to repack the vest once it deploys? Is it fairly easy?


    Dan I do not, but I will ask him Wed when I have a meeting. I can say if I had a kid freediving I would buy this before I helped him buy a first car.
    Cheers, Don

  • Hello Don


    I also spoke to Terry just about 2 weeks ago about this vest and told him to put one on order for me and thanked him for developing such a vest, he said he was about 10 months out for production and we talked about the fit and how it operates with the swipe or push of a button, I then asked if we will see him at the BlueWild expo here in Florida and he mentioned that he had club meeting for the Blue Water meet and could not make it, I guess this is the same one you are participating in? look forward to hearing all about it.

    Do you mind sharing what the price of the vest is going to be?

  • Terry said it would retail for roughly $3,000, but this could change I suppose and no one really knows until it is final. I am sure many will say WOW that is expensive and yes it is to some, but like all new things after some time the price may drop and besides how much is your life worth? I solo alot and have just recently started a family so to me saving up for this could be the difference of coming home to my family or not after a after a day of what I love to do and want to keep on doing it.
    Even if I am not soloing, usuallywhen I dive with other people they are not always watching you as they should or some choose not to at all and just want to get the hunt started, it's just how it is and if I had a dedicated spearo partner that was ok with 1 up and 1 down each time we dove I would be stoked and probably put this off for awhile, but until I find someone I am saving up for this.
