Freediving Set Up

2BFREE Freediving BUOY : 

This is an amazing freediving buoy. It raises the standards of buoys to a completely new level for use in open water activities. It is constructed of high-quality PVC and incorporates a PVC inner tube. It is even the perfect size — 73 cm (29”).

The 2BFREE freediving buoy is our crowning achievement. This is because of its unique quality, stability, and simplicity in how to use it in and out of the water. Not to mention its sleek design!

It is made from strong and extra-durable water-resistant PVC material. The top-notch YKK anti-corrosion zipper is made for long term usage, no matter how extreme the conditions are.

Inside the buoy, there is enough space for over 100 m/383 ft of rope (10 mm/4” thick). There are also special holes on the bottom of the buoy to immediately drain the water. This comes in handy so you don’t have to tip over and spill out the rope and everything else inside.

The buoy also has 16 soft ergonomic grips. The handles are on the top and bottom to allow you to handle it with ease and comfort. This is not only there for transport, but when you breathe up and are in your relaxation phase before you dive. This level of comfort is external on those chilly, windy days.

The buoy has a perfect diameter at 73 cm/29” and a height of 18 cm/3.9” while still being very lightweight at only 2.25 kg/ 5 lb. It can be easily inflated by mouth, but we also include a car pump adapter if you are feeling a bit tired. As safety is a major concern in diving we include a diver flag. In case an issue arises, which happens to us all we have also included a repair kit.

Other major components on the buoy are a stainless steel D-ring underneath, made for attaching carabiners and the rope. The buoy also has 4 YKK D-rings on the sides and 1 inside the buoy to allow the attachment to other buoys. This is great for freediving school and warms up buoys in competition.

Octopus Freediving Lanyard 100cm White : 

The Octopus lanyard: a mix of safety, efficiency and comfort. Made using only high-quality components, from the super-light carbon composite polymer carabiner, to the 100cm plastic-coated stainless steel cable, and the strong water-resistant marine-graded polyester velcro wristband. All components ensure a super-light and hydrodynamic lanyard, while remaining extra strong for your safety. The wristband also includes an innovative easy-grab tag, for added ease of quick-release use. With 4 funky colors to choose from, already over 800 units were pre-ordered worldwide before launch! Designed and tested by Swiss record-holder Pascal Berger (-131m VWT ). Made in Switzerland, for a quality you can trust.

• Wristband : 100% polyester with high quality nylon velcro 
• Wire and all metal parts : stainless steel SS216
• Carabiner : carbon composite 

Octopus Freediving Pulling System Black : 

The Octopus pulling system: a smart product which is easy to use, sturdy (max. load 250kg), efficient, compact, ergonomic and at an affordable price while maintaining high-quality components.

It is so resistant that you can just leave it hanging under your buoy, no real need to rinse in fresh water. You can even jump on it with both feet, it will keep working over and over with any rope from 8 to 12 mm diameter.

It has an ergonomic shape: regarding both its ease of use with one hand , and also the absence of sharp edges (how many times have you bumped your head in your buoy on the way up when you were a little bit “up there in the clouds”?).

Finally, in case of emergency, it will enable you to pull the line up way more efficiently than the traditional way (a.k.a. laying like a sack of potatoes on top of your buoy...).

Try it once and you will never go back to using just the simple carabiner! Designed and tested by Swiss record-holder Pascal Berger. 

• A strong structure (polyamide charged with 20% fiberglass)
• A thick 8mm anodized aluminum arm (ALU6061)
• Two low frictions polyamide pulleys for ropes 8 to 12mm
• Marine stainless steel screws

Octopus Freediving Safety Stopper :

Strong and reliable, our new OCTOPUS safety stopper enhances your safety as it efficiently prevents your lanyard from getting stuck. The almost-flat upper part gives a clean stop to your carabiner, while the lower part, with its conical shape, allows your lanyard cable to be “expelled” towards the outside, with no grip to get it stuck. Following our prototype tests, we chose a diameter wider than a tennis ball’s (75mm vs 65mm). Finally, the bright fluorescent yellow color makes it more visible. 

It works perfectly with a 10 to 12mm rope. It is possible to use it with smaller ropes down to 8mm. 

Regarding the mounting process, the stopper is divided in two parts. A simple knot is placed in its center, and 3 stainless steel screws (standard cross-head) make it easy to finish putting it in place. It is made out of ABS, a strong plastic used for example to make LEGOs: after all, we are just big kids playing in the water!  

Octopus Freediving Bottom Plate :

• Hydrodynamic shape to drastically reduce drag while pulling the plate up thanks to its compact shape and wide holes

• Ø 21cm,  yellow fluo plate for a great visibility underwater

• Quick and robust mounting system (3 Phillips 316 stainless steel screws)

• Weight: 140 grams 

• Material: ultra robust ABS (thermoplastic polymer, same as our line stopper)
