Double Dip
Double Dip 2010, an AIDA Ranked
Freedive Competition in Constant Weight, Constant Weight No Fins
and Free Immersion will take place at the National Diving & Activity
Centre in Chepstow, UK on 25th and 26th September 2010.
This is the sixth time Saltfree has hosted the UK Champs and we
hope it will the busiest ever. 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 -

Results from Double Dip will give athletes an international AIDA
freedive ranking in the disciplines they complete successfully
- so you can see just how your dives stack up against the rest
of the world! Even if you're number 142, it's kind of cool to know!
 We'll have some prizes for the top three men and women overall
and something special for the best newcomer (as decided by the
judges). 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 (1.3 points per metre instead of just 1).
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
