Hi there;
One of your examples reads: "On est montés dans la voiture après vous."
Is the "s" on "montés" an error?
I don't know what party favours are, let alone what the French word for them might be.
< Frapper dans ses (les) mains > is acceptable, but is getting the red line currently.
< ramper > also got the red line but is acceptable for 'to crawl', as used by Pampers :

Bonjour mes amis! Je m'appele Parsa et je viens de Leiden. C'est une ville des Pays-Bas. J'aime la ville.
I'm unclear on when to use dernier and when to use passe and this lesson doesn't address that. I hear la semaine derniere and la semaine passe.
The answer " en dernier septembre " given. The durations mentioned in this lesson does not put the "duration" in front of the proper noun. Why? is this a mistake!
"Party favours" in not a term in use in Australia as far as I can ascertain, and I had never heard of them (with either of the meanings I discovered).
Doesn't help much when the urban dictionary definition is essentially 'hard(er) drugs'!
Luckily, overseas sites advertising other 'party favours' gave a different insight, as did wordreference.

I have found a number of diving sites that use < plongée libre >, as well as < plongée en apnée >. Decathlon uses both in its advertising, and Collins also translates 'free-diving' to < plongée libre >.
And for snorkelling - Larousse gives < faire de la plongée avec un tuba >, which seems to be about the only expression that gets the red line. (A mask is not essential equipment for snorkelling)
