Thanks guys
I'm in Cardiff so not too far from the Saltfree crowd (just have to get myself organised to get to Bristol or Chepstow). It would be a bit more of a hike to get to the Southwest coast, depending on where I might be able to do it in a day but would probably need a whole weekend.
Main problems are time (isn't it always!) and kit. I don't want to spend lots of money on kit and find I don't enjoy it or can't get to any depth for some reason.
So, the current plan is to do a course with Saltfree when they run the next one so I can borrow kit and see how it feels to be swimming down rather than along then go from there. I've got a wetsuit fins, mask, weightbelt etc but they are designed for SCUBA rather than freediving so I would have rather a lot to get. Then spearfishing is going to involve a gun and all sorts of other stuff - why can't I just enjoy a nice cheap hobby like running
