I called Maison du Séminaire yesterday and the situation is not so clear ; apparently, they do not rent any longer their cheap rooms (20 € per night is something of a bargain !) out of "safety" reasons... but... nevertheless they still rent it to "some groups"...

I told them that freediving is a high risk sport, that freedivers are by no means drunkards... but extremely decent, law abiding and God fearing people...

I found a lodging at a reasonable price close to the Negresco from the 22th of May, but I should highly appreciate arriving a bit sooner (Friday 20th of May) in order to get the opportunity to train in the sea during the week-end...
and my hotel is full...

Maybe, an extremely pious freediving person with lobbying skills might intercede with Maison du Séminaire on the freediving community's behalf in order to persuade them to welcome us in their spartan but geographically extremely well situated and highly affordable rooms....

Any influential freediving Archbishop on Deeperblue ?

I am looking for :

1. an affordable lodging for the nights 20-21th May and 21-22 May...

2. buddies to swim and train in the Sea in Nice close to the Negresco from 23rd to 25th of May

Any good tips ?

See you
 
sorry- I am staying at MDS but paying lots for the privilege - but I don't get there til the 25th. Maybe Francois can talk to them, I think he has done before

or maybe they have just had enough of dripping dive gear hanging out of their windows!

Apparently Cannes film festival is the same week which is why people are having problems finding a room

Are wrist leaches provided or does every freediver have to bring his (or her) own wrist leach ?

Hi Francois,
Can you tell me the name of the pool? I just need to know where it is as the timing might be complicated with the "fête des mères" and the elections the same day.

Otherwise, about the training days, did we need to book in advance and pay in advance? It is not really mentionned on the web site I think, and I did not think about it when I registered.

Cheers
C U there

Rémi
 
Salut Remi,

10 euros a training. U were supposed to pay it together with the comp. On the 22 nd ill send you all the final infos.

Schedule
Places
etc...

Once i have everybody inscribed, i ll know who is training, and so i ll contact all the concerned to establish a schedule.


3 to 4 boats a day. Most people are not training. We ll have lots of place free.Should be ok then.


The swimming pool is at Jean Bouin, 10 min walking from the harbor.

Hi François,

Did you receive my cheque (comp + 2 trainings) ?

I have a lodging for sure from the Sunday 22 th to the 31th of May... I shall lodge close to the Negresco...

If possible, I should be glad to make my first training as soon as possible (if possible on Monday the 23rd if there is one ?) in order to adapt myself again to the sea and to the depth...

If there is no training organized by the CIPA on 23rd, 24th, 25th, I should like to train with possible buddies : my lodging is close to the "Bambou plage"... I guess it is a nice place there to swim and do a little depth, isn't it ?

I understood that lodging during the week end of 21-22nd May is very tough due to the "Grand Prix de Monaco" and due to the Festival de Cannes... But if there is any possibility of lodging in Nice from the Friday 20th to the Sunday 22nd of May, I should be highly interested...

See you

François
 
I doubt we ll be organising any trainings before the 26th...we ll much too busy.

Again, don t dive alone...and even if you have a buddy don t forget you don t have any serious safety around you


Safe dives !!!

Hi Francois,

I have a question... A friend (not yet an apneist) is susceptible to visit me from Paris during my stay in Nice...

What are the possibilities for non competitors to be spectators for the comp in the sea ?

Are there kayaks to be rent ? Is there room on the boats ?
 
sorry...no room in the boats and as we ll be at more than 300m from the shore no one will rent him a kayak. But he can come to the swimming pool part.

Ciao
