"My students were amazed. Their level of enjoyment and consequently ours was much higher due to the quality of the equipment and the clarity of the site and water. We also did a session on the various sunk items: container swim through, metal tube, helicopter, plane, armed tank – good to have fun as well!"

Jean Fabrice, AIDA Instructor

"I started Freediving by doing my beginner course at Saltfree in 2005. Since then I have become a competitive freediver on the International freediving circuit, and completed an Instructor course with Saltfree. Saltfree has given me a fantastic space to learn and develop my freediving. If I were going to do it all again from the beginning I wouldn’t change anything about my freediving education with Saltfree"

Liv Phillip, UK Record Holder & UK Team Freediver

"80m deep, great set up, awesome safety equipment / people, and a pontoon so big you can jog laps to keep warm in the winter! There is nowhere like the emerald green depths of Chepstow."

Tim Money, UK Team Freediver
