|  How
deep can you go?
Double Dip 2009, an AIDA Ranked Freedive
Competition in Constant Weight, Constant Weight No Fins and Free
Immersion will take place at the NDAC in Chepstow, UK on 18th and
19th July 2009.
This is the fifth time Saltfree has hosted the
UK Champs and the first time on our all new renovated
pontoon. We hope to welcome freedivers from all over the UK
and beyond to compete, show the world just how deep they can dive
on a single breath, meet new buddies and most importantly, have
a great weekend freediving with friends, new and old.
We can't stress enough that we'd love to see
entrants at all levels - so whether this is your fiftieth competiton,
or your first, we'll do our utmost to make sure it's a great experience,
everything is as perfect as it can be for your dives and you go
away buzzing with the achievement. We'll make sure there is a good
prize for the best newbie - and a few other rewards for "special"
talents on the day!
 The
competition runs over two days. Each diver only dives once each
day and you must enter in two different disciplines. You can choose
your two from - Constant Weight, Constant Weight No Fins and Free
Immersion. If you don't know what that means - click
here for definitions and videos>.
Results from Double Dip will give athletes an
international freedive ranking in the disciplines they complete
successfully. Scores here will count towards UK Team Selection for
the AIDA Individual World Cup scheduled for November 2009 at Deans
Blue Hole in the Bahamas.
We'll have some prizes for the top three men
and women overall and also a little something for the best newcomer.
The overall winners will be decided by a handicapping system which
accounts for the fact that CWNF is a little more challenging than
the others (see
here for details>).
Alongside the comp, there will be plenty of
chances to meet new freedive buddies, exchange hints and techniques,
buy and sell freedive gear at our "bring and buy" stall
and of course, a bit of a party on the Saturday night. For more

We'd love to see you as a competing athlete,
safety diver, general crew, videographer, photographer, medic, judge
or just a freedive groupie- the more the merrier! Full details on
entry are on the right. If you'd like to get involved in some other
way, can offer sponsorship or have any questions please email Sam
at Saltfree here>.
