I'm wanting to know the interest on here for freediving? I'm wanting to learn in the new year and it would be nice to not be on my own as I don't know of any mers on here who are certificated free divers AIDA etc...

The two options are; Florida in the US (out there for work) to learn or Cornwall in the UK (I live in the UK) to learn I'd be wanting to rent a hotel room so we could split the cost?

I'm not certified yet, but my friend who is certified is teaching me. had the weather and current been favorable this year I would have done my (technically) first freedive

Cool, so are you UK based then? What course was it? What did you have to learn?

nope. US based. he took a course in California. I don't know it off the top of my head. for the biggest part, he said it taught you how to be comfortable in the water, the dangers and procedures of free diving, and how to properly hold your breath.
