New to the group - Hello from London

[kybele]

Hello, I am new to the group and am looking to find information on where to get started with recreational freediving in and around London (UK). Is there perhaps anyone in the forum from London who could point me in the right direction?

Cheers... I cannot wait to find a pool and some buddies and get started..

Welcome to DB! I believe there are freedivers who meet at Richmond and Crystal Palace, i'm sure someone will introduce themselves from one of these venues!

Thank you so much for the quick reply - look forward to finding out more info.

No problem. If you use the search function at top of screen you might find some useful info.
