meetWho are Saltfree?

SaltFree are a group of freedivers united by a love for plunging into the depths of The National Diving and Activity Centre, a deep, green and unashamedly beautiful flooded quarry in Chepstow, near Bristol, in the UK.

We usually meet to freedive at least once a month and more often from Easter to October. New freedivers are always welcome. If you're completely new to the sport, we'll ask you to take a course with us first.

Our purpose-built dive platform is the deepest of its kind in the UK, fully equipped for safety and comfort. We have relatively clear water, about 10m of vis, more than enough training lines that can all be set at your target depth and 77m of water beneath us!

For those new to the sport, or interested in learning more we offer a full range of freediving courses through AIDA and PADI, from beginner up to instructor. If you're accomplished in apnea, we have a great track record for getting people deeper - and you'll have fun while you're at it.

Every year we also host the UK Championships - Check out all the details on the Double Dip page. The 2010 Double Dip will be on 25 and 26 September.

Whether you want to learn how to freedive, get more comfortable in the water to help your scuba/surfing/spearfishing, snorkel longer with dolphins next holiday or train for serious competition - you've landed in the right place.

Freediving can be dangerous and should never be attempted without formal training. Never freedive alone.
