    Thanks AptaMer! Ive been pretty quiet on here for a few weeks now because Ive had lots of family visiting and it was the final of the WeFreedive Suunto Series. This event had 3 disciplines - Static, Dynamic and No Fins Dynamic. I hadn't really pushed myself in training before the comp so I wasnt so sure Id do anything noteworthy but as it turned out I performed a new Personal Best in Dynamic at 85m - I'm not far from that 100m mark and I can't wait to get there ! I won female 1st for this discipline. My static was only just over 2:20 and I think I've had a mental block with my static recently so I'm hoping to get past that and make it back up to 3:30. Dynamic No Fins was a laugh, I had way too much weight ( always sort out your weights before the comp so you know exactly what you need on the day - i need to get my own weights as I was borrowing Walters and through swapping and changing my mind of weights I was way too heavy and felt i was almost dragging along the bottom at some points.) So I bailed out at 42m lol I came up with white cards all day so thats was the main thing. The comp was based on how many clean dives you had ( white cards ) Walter won leading me by one white card, and he won the D6i ( well deserved ! ) I came second and won my AIDA 3* Freediving Course !!! Im so happy and I can't wait to start the course. This course goes more into detail on how to train to become better and more in depth knowledge of dive theory. I have already met some of the requirements Ill need for the 3* but I think this course is going to be a tough one ! Anyway guys, here is my new DYN PB - competing in my custom monofin from SpecialFins and my Elios wetsuit !

    Yougot your own style, now let it come through. And remember no matter what, you got to be you. -Sebastian

    Congratulations! And the AIDA 3* course is a very good achievement, maybe even better than the D6i .

    I've gotten on a waiting list for Dive Addicts in Draper. You should too! I'd love to train with you.
