Hey everyone,
I've been searching for a freediving club near Ghent in Belgium for weeks now but I haven't found a lot of information about it... Since I noticed there are some freedivers from The Netherlands on the forum I guess there are some Belgian freedivers here who might be able to help me out with this quest?
It has come to my attention that AIDA is the organisation for freediving in Belgium, so I went to their website to check out some information. Apparently they have freediving sections in Antwerp, Brussels and Wallonia. Nothing about freediving in East-Flanders... weird? It was clear that I'll have to subscribe myself to become a member of AIDA Belgium in order to be able to join a freediving course, trainings, competitions, etc...
However, I can't seem to find exact information on which clubs offer such freediving courses. (AIDA 1*, 2*, etc...)
I'm currently member (1*) of the scuba diving club "Mantis Divers Club" near Ghent which is associated with the NELOS federation. They do offer some freediving/apnea exercices but those are considered as a side-training for scuba diving. Those exercices are not sufficient for me as I would like to advance in freediving competitions on the long run. So unfortunately my club doesn't offer freediving courses nor has a freediving instructor...
Can anyone shine a light on the situation because for me it's still not very clear what I have to do in order to start a freediving course over here in Belgium.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Zenfreediver
