The 8th Great Northern AIDA freediving competition is almost here – kicking off this coming weekend in Manchester, UK.
Featuring two days of competitions. Day one on April 15th is a standalone Dynamic No Fins (DNF) competition. Day two on April 16th is the BFA UK National pool competition which is a combined point score of two disciplines. Everyone must complete a Static (STA) dive and then a choice of Dynamic with fins (DYN) or Dynamic no fins (DNF). DNF points will be multiplied by 1.3 to ‘normalise’ the results and give everyone a fairer chance of winning. There is also a podium for International athletes too.
Sponsored by the British Freediving Association, Omer and PADI all kindly providing prizes and staff support.
The official website is www.freedivingcompetition.com, and also the facebook page is great for regular information in the run up to the competition.
All athletes will who enter will receive an AIDA ranking and the competition has everyone from National record holders to brand new beginners entering.
