Re: Hi from the UK

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
