O.k, it's not the best freediving WR but it was fun and raised over £10k for the RNLI. 127 divers meet up at Chepstow National Dive Center to try and beat the Australian WR for underwater extreme ironing! 86 were recorded!This was my first meet with SaltFree Freedivers run buy Sam Kirby. We all meet up at 8am only to find that we all had to wait till midday before we could get in the water (which was 5 degrees)
I paired up with Sam and Brain paired up with Virginia whilst our cameraman sorted out our ironing boards on a platform built underwater.
We had 10minutes of up & down to our ironing boards and generally had a good laugh, Brian started to iron his fins and Sam put on a well ironed SaltFree T-Shirt whilst at her ironing board!
Sat night was spent having the SaltFree Christmas dinner and secret Santa presents given out but we turned in at a reasonable time due to the tasks ahead on Sunday.
On the Sunday we demolished the platform, it was nice to be able to do something for the club as this was my first appearance. I'm looking forward to doing my 2* AIDA course with Sam this year and spending as much time as possible learning the depth side of freediving which is why i started in the first place.
