Who are SaltFree?
SaltFree are a group of freedivers and their scuba support team (The Angels) 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 host the UK Championships - this year it's on the 18/19 July and we will be offering all three depth disciplines. Check out all the details on the Double Dip page.
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.
