Hello all.

I'm Jamie, from the south Lakes, Cumbria, England. I've been freediving on and off for a few years due to struggling to find people to dive with. But after my girlfriend recently passed her AIDA 2, we've been getting out a bit more. She lives in Glasgow though, so we don't get to dive all that often.

I'm lucky enough to live only 15 minutes from Capernwray Dive Centre, which is great, and am aware that Steve Millard runs sessions there, however I'm yet to work out when they are. I sometimes dive in the lakes, but conditions can be very hit and miss.

I've seen there are other posts on here from people in my local area, but most are a few years old now. But if there's anyone still about, please get in touch!

Cheers, Jamie

Hi mate, i’m doing my AIDA 2 with Steve. I’m based in Barrow. Do you still dive?

Hi Goldie,

sorry, I've not been on here in a while. Saw you'd replied when I googled something this morning and this thread popped up.

Yes I'm still diving. There's a few of us dive fairly often in Capernwray Diving Centre near Carnforth. And as the season goes on we'll start diving a few of the Lakes. When is/was your AIDA 2?

Speaking of Barrow, I've recently started looking at spearfishing spots in Cumbria, there's a few spots around Walney island look like they might have potential.

Hi Jamie, are you still freediving? I just arrived here in Cumbria and i have been freediving/spearfishing for 4 years in the Philippines. I would like to ask if you guys have group around the area.

Thanks

Hi, I am, though I haven't done much this year due to focusing on other things. We have a group, it isn't official though, just a group of friends. Whereabouts in Cumbria are you?

Hi Jamie,

Midlands based freediver here- right next to a great dive spot but they don’t do Freediving here- I’ve reached out to another freediver close to Capernwray and we’ll be diving soon enough- if you’re after buddies still I’d love to take more trips up to Capernwray and try out the Lakes someday. Seems finding groups is still a little arcane so if you have any contacts up there I’d be grateful to find more people to dive with!
 
Cumbria's lakes can also be a great place for freediving, but it's important to be aware of the risks and be prepared for changing conditions.

Hi Jamie, sorry for the late reply, i,m just down here in Barrow. Is it okay if i would like to request for a link to the group if that would be fine as I am planning to get back into freediving.

Thank you.

Just as in life and in games, you should pay attention to the risk of wasting time on a boring quest, and to avoid this, you can use shadow crucible boost .
