Mid Atlantic Long Fins Club
MALFC is a freedive/spearfishing club focused on providing members with the knowledge to safely explore the sport of freediving and spearfishing. Located in Virginia Beach VA, MALFC finds itself uniquely located in some of the finest spearfishing territories in the world. From the Chesapeake Bay to the Blue Waters off the coast of North Carolina, MALFC has the resources to challenge any level of freediver and spearfishing aficionado.
Our members have a wide range of experience from complete beginners who have never experienced diving before to individuals who hold multiple world record. Therefore, one of MALFC’s goals is to bring in speakers from various backgrounds from all over the world to spend time with members through lectures, one on one instruction, and/or product demonstrations to help impart their knowledge and experiences. Past notable speakers include Daryl Wong, Bob Croft, Mark Laboccetta, Kirk Krack, Mandy-Rae Cruickshank, and Craig Gentry just to name a few.
The mission of MALFC is to facilitate the flow of quality information on safety, technique, and equipment, and to organize dive trips accessible to freediving. Meetings are usually held on the second or third Thursday of the month. Because of our close relationship with Dive Quarters (www.divequarters.com), MALFC has access to state of the art dive facilities such as a heated pool, knowledgeable and courteous staff, and the use of dive equipment.
