Thanks Sam, that's great!

I have all of the kit apart from the lanyard - if I could buy one that would be cool.

Cheers,

John.

RJW - who are you???
John, Anna and RJW - as this is the first time you've dived with us, you'll need to do a medical form and liability release. Both are attached please bring them with you. NB if you answer yes to anything on the medical, it has to be signed by a doc. If you have a different signed medical, that is dated within the last year, you can bring that

George - if you come, can you bring these too

thanks

Hi everyone, I was just thinking: where is a good place to stay? Bit far to drive back to London, really. I would appreciate advice!

Annamaria ... places to stay you can find on the Saltfree website:
SaltFree - Freediving at the National Diving and Activity Centre in the UK

Greenies and Meanies, I have Angels cover planned for Sunday only so far. Waiting still for confirmation from some of the team but you'll probably have to use the CB on Saturday. Tim, I think that might scupper your depth slightly but we'll cover you as deep as you like on Sunday.

I'll post an update once I have the plan in ink.

Can anyone else make Saturday? Mandy? Liv? Dave Morgan?

We could do with a few more regulars there on Saturday to safety dive etc/ as I'll be teaching and Mr Crocs is working.....

[annamaria]

Although I'm not a regular yet (but planning to become one!) I can certainly do safety for others, too, which I would have expected to do anyway! I realise no one likes to rely on a diver they have not dived with, but I expect to get to know everyone quickly and obviously play my part in doing safety & ropes for others.

As a deep trimix diver, I am also interested in getting involved with the 'angel cover' occasionally in the fututure, too.

Am looking forward to the weekend, praying for good weather in the meantime!

[annamaria]

Just in case this helps: I am AIDA***, and also an EFR instructor.

[samdive]

that's great - and helps! thanks for letting us know.

[annamaria]

Hi Sam,

I was just thinking: since my constant weight pb is a comfortable 36m, would it be ok for me to try and dive around the 30m+ mark? I have not had the opportunity to see how I am diving in cold water, (apart from a quick dive to 20m in Vobster) and would like to check where my limits currently are, so I know how to train and what depth to announce for the double dip.

Anna

[samdive]

yes that's fine. As long as it is less than 40m, you can name your depth on the day as safety will be with counterweight rather than scuba. I'd recommend taking it easy on the first day to see how you get on in the different conditions and then pushing a little more on Sunday.

Can anyone else from the normal gang make it on Saturday? I will be with students so we could do with another experienced SaltFree'er!
