Hey Guys

Yep, we did, had a great evening, was a pleasure to have met Sebastian Naslund after reading many of his posts here. The venue was great, in fact we have decided to hold a static breathhold comp in the hotel pool on 4th May, will confirm the details!!

The entire hotel is geared to extreme sports, but the lifts took the cake, got into one to find it was a 'shark-diving' cage, complete with huge photos of Great Whites swimming around, so you get this perspective of being in the cage! :D

Yes, as Jeffa said, it was great fun... always interesting to meet up with fellow freedivers
and discuss diving, future events, experiences and other 'normal' things :)
Pity you other DB's couldn't make, I'm starting to think you don't exist...
SO, book Friday the 4th of May, evening for the fun breath hold comp at
Extreme Hotel!

News!

Today was the first and deepest day of the AIDA SA FREEDIVING OPEN.

The dives were done in open water outside Hout Bay. Due to somewhat rough conditions,
colds and ears, only two divers elected to dive, Trevor Hutton doing a 60m Constant Weight dive
(up and down only propelled by fins/ monofin) and Roger Horrocks 30m.
Judges: Hanli Prinsloo (RSA) Sebastian Näslund (SWE).

Congratulations to Trevor, who has achieved the deepest freedive ever in competition in South African waters!

A big thank-you to the scuba divers who kept us safe from sharks at depth, and to Sarah
and Dive Action for the boat and professional help!

Schedule for the rest of the Freediving Open:
Friday 4 May, 17:00- late: FUN STATIC BREATH-HOLD at the Extreme Hotel
Saturday 5 May, 10- 15: Constant Weight, Free Immersion, Constant Weight No Fins, Blue Rock Quarry, Somerset West
Sunday 6 May, 9- 15: Static, Dynamic with and without Fins, Long Street Pool
Fun Static at Extreme Hotel Cape Town

A happy Trevor Hutton and Judge Hanli after the dive.
