Richard and Sarah on the Blue Planet Divers' boat Yes, we're there - and it is great!

After our wonderful trip from Bangkok to Koh Lanta - as reported in the blog - we're already busy freediving, giving courses and playing with sharks and manta rays in the very lively Andaman Sea around Krabi.

Having been out here for some time now, we're very happy to offer our freediving courses and training in cooperation with Blue Planet Divers who have been offering freediving courses for several years and supply all the infrastructure - and the passion for the sport - we could wish for in a freediving course.

Day three of Triple depth and most athletes were looking tired and this being one of the most intensive disciplines, the constant weight no fins (CNF). 

There were six new national records set, Agata did a lovely dive down to 36m to collect a NR for Poland, a good end to her first ever competition. Wendy did what looked like the most relaxed and effortless dive she has ever performed, you know she is one those rare people that make it all look so easy. She came up with the tag from 45m and so a NR for Holland. Jarmila set a NR for Czech Republic 52m, Jana from Canada set a NR of 53m but had awful lot of blood from her nose to show for it.

Day two at the Triple Depth competition was.....interesting and had a bit of drama. Today was the constant weight (CWT) competition. Again there were a few National records, a few personal bests but mostly there were happy faces regardless of the atheletes' performances.

Agata missed the tag but her dive looked comfortable and she had a smile as she passed on her way back in. Betti set a NR for Switzerland of 53m and was smiles all the way, a much happier Betti than yesterday Smile

Long awaited, Triple Depth 2009 has started here in Dahab at the Blue Hole. headed off by the mini static competition. People have notably played safe yesterday with Alexey doing a mere 6:45min.

Today was the day for Free Immersion. The often ignored discipline of freediving still got some people to depth and we were able to see a couple of national records and nicely enough not a single blackout or samba.
