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.
Win a freediving course!
We provide a paid-for free diving class to
one lucky applicant each year!
Giving young divers the tools to navigate the underwater world safely.

Our meetings are 2nd Thursdays at Pour House in South Oceanside from 7-9pm. All are welcome so bring a friend and be sure to support the restaurant by ordering food or a drink.
