| Double Dip 2008
Freedive Competition at the NDAC
 Double
Dip 2008, 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 12th and 13th July 2008.
This is the fourth time Saltfree
has hosted the UK Champs and marks our fifth birthday. 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 freedive weekend.
We can't stress enough that we'd love to see
entrants at all levels - so whether this is your tenth 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. And thanks to our friends at
SUUNTO UK there's a brand newD4 dive computer for the best newbie!
The competition runs over two days. Each diver
dives once each day and can choose to compete in one or two disciplines
out of the three AIDA competition events - Constant Weight, Constant
Weight No Fins and Free Immersion. If you don't know what that means

Results from Double Dip will give the athletes
an international freedive ranking in the disciplines they complete
successfully. Constant Weight scores here will count towards UK
Team Selection for the AIDA
Team World Cup scheduled for September 2008 in Sharm El Sheikh,
Egypt . We'll have some prizes for the top man and woman in each
discipline and also a little something for the best newcomer - open
to anyone who has taken AIDA 2 Star in the last 18 months.
 Double
Dip will have full AIDA
Ranking - judges are likely to be Sam Kirby, Dave Griffiths and
Matt Kitchen. Safety support will be provided by SaltFree
Freedivers and
The Angels of the Deep.
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

or just a freedive groupie- the more the merrier! Full details on
