Hello,
Im an invader from another forum, recently started freediving in the hope it would stop me going mad from lack of scuba diving. I got the bends last year whcih put me out of action for a while. A friend reccomended i try freediving, got some fins second hand, dug out my semi-dry and went in last weekend and had a blast. Managing to get to 10m at St Abbs (southern Scotland, UK). Im working on my breath hold skills, and scared the pants off myself with a hold of 4.13 earlier today. Any tips for an utter novice will be appreciated. Helen

Hi Helen, welcome aboard!
I'm another UK freediver (a long way from Scotland though!). If you are training in water it is very important to have someone with you at all times who has had safety training. There are pool training clubs in the UK, but I don't know of any in Scotland. There is more info on the BFA website: http://www.britishfreediving.org/ There are lots of useful tips here on Deeperblue. The Beginner Freediving section is good. Lucia

There is another forum?? Well, anyway, welcome to DB. You will find us a little spacy but quite helpful. Feel free to ask questions. Specific ones work best. Also, the "search" function is very useful in finding info you want. Congrats on that static, that is quite good.

Yeah, the "other forum" is Yorkshire Divers where i have an embarassingly large post count (7800 or thereabouts). I also write for www.travel-dive.com and trying to convince them that my journey into freediving is worth publishing
