We have decided to make the combination of disciplines more flexible - now you can do dyn-dyn, dnf-dnf, dyn-dnf, or dnf-dyn.

However, for the overall ranking in the competition, we will only count the points from each type of dynamic once, so the dyn-dyn divers don't win automatically.

Going for two attempts in the same discipline or going for the overall ranking? It's entirely up to you :-)

We have a good mix of beginners and top freedivers joining us. Check out the list on Freedivers on 3rd Copenhagen Open :: Freedive Central (although it is far from complete), and please consider signing up there. Remember that your registration is not complete until you have paid.

If you want to stay in Copenhagen for free, we are organising sleeping space in a school gym hall. Just bring your mattress and sleeping bag. More info on 3rd. Copenhagen Open - indoor freediving competition
