Freediving Depth Nationals 2012

07-12-2011

The AIDA Freediving Depth Nationals are coming soon to a Lake Taupo near you.

The competition will consist of three sessions over three days. For each session, competitors can nominate any of the three AIDA depth competition disciplines. Disciplines can be repeated, although final ranking will only take into consideration the best result in each discipline. As this is our national championship, competitors are encouraged to take part in all disciplines and challenge for the final ranking, though this is up to the competitors.

There will be a recreation grade available for those not interested in international ranking and just wanting to challenge themselves. Divers in the recreation grade will compete in the same disciplines, but with relaxed rules and against other recreation grade divers. These dives will not be eligible for international ranking.
