Freedive for Charity

At the moment I work at Geek Squad, and a while back the guys were throwing around ideas of how they could raise some money for their chosen charity, Children With Leukaemia. The mentioned in an internal memo that the wackier the better. And when a freediver hears something like that it's not hard to figure out what they're planning. I thought something a bit different would be a constant weight freedive so I put my hand up for that, not even thinking that at this time of year the water is only a couple of degrees above freezing...

Children with Leukaemia is a fantastic endeavour that helps fight the fight for people who haven't yet had a chance to live their lives. They fund research and welfare programs as well as raising awareness of the disease that affects around 500 kids a year in the UK.

So on May 3rd 2008 i'll be doing a freedive at the National Diving and Activity Centre, near Chepstow. This dive will involve me diving 40m deep underwater on a single breath of air, only using a specialised fin for propulsion down and back up.

I'm getting safety support from Laura Storm and her awesome team Angels of the deep, as well as surface freedive safety from some of the crew at http://www.saltfreedivers.com/
