Nemo 33

[rossjohnsonrm]

i emailed nemo 33 to ask about organising a freediving trip, they came back that they have suspended all freediving activities at the facility due to a 'severe accident'. does anyone have access to the navy one in portsmouth? and secondly anyone know what happened at nemo?

Someone mentioned it here a few days or weeks ago... Something about an employee at Nemo that when freediving alone after closing-hours, and was found dead by other employees a few minuttes after... as I recall it.

The submarine training tower in Portsmouth has been closed for civilian use for a few years now.

There is a deep pool in Paris and one in Germany.

In fact there are two 20m diving pools in Paris, a third close by, and in total seven of them in France. Then there are five 15m pools, and nine 10-11m pools. The complete list can be found in this document: http://www.ffessm.fr/ckfinder/userfiles/files/pdf/divers/Fosses_piscines_FFESSM.pdf

However, it may be finally faster and cheaper to take a cheap flight to some warm destination with easy access to the deep sea (well 20m is pretty everywhere), or to go freediving with Saltfree to Chepstow

Is this still valid?
