We meet up around once a month, and more often in the summer to train together at NDAC in Chepstow.

With four training lines, a huge dive platform including two counterbalances and scuba safety options, we're fully equipped for dives down from 5m to around 75m.

Freedivers of all abilities come and train with SaltFree. Whether you are a complete beginner or training for international competitions and record attempts, we'll help you achieve what you're aiming for.

Most people come for the whole weekend and stay in a B and B, in the NDAC Wigwams on site, or camp. If you prefer, just join us for the day (but you will miss what's usually a great dinner on Saturday night!). Sign up for meets on our Facebook wall or email us.

Meet dates for 2012 are: 3 March, 14/15 April, 12/13 May, 26/27 May, 9/10 June, 23/24 June, 7/8 July, 4/5 Aug, 1/2 Sept, 15/16 Sept and 13/14 Oct. . Meets only run if at least 3 experienced divers sign up - so do check Facebook and sign up if you want to come. Ideally we'd like at least a week's notice that you're coming.

The cost of attending a meet is £15 a day - £7.50 entry fee paid to NDAC on the gate, and £7.50 to Saltfree - paid either on the day or via paypal in advance (50p extra per day for Paypal payments). Divers who are going below 55m will need scuba safety cover - so we charge more for that - ask us.

If you'd like to suggest another weekend, just post a comment on Facebook and if there are 3 of you and you're experienced enough, we'll give you the go ahead.

If you'd like to come and you haven't dived with us before, we will normally ask you to complete a Beginner Freediver Course (AIDA 2 star) first, dependent on your experience. Otherwise, all you need to do is sign up on the Facebook or by email, send us a copy of your cert card, Registration Form and Medical Statement and turn up on the day. Please also have a read of our Safety Rules.

You'll need to have all your own kit including weights and a lanyard. Visit our shop to buy one if you don't have one. (If you're hitching from Outer Mongolia and don't want to carry weights, we have a few to lend out, but do ask in advance).

We hope to see you soon!

Sam and SaltFree!
