    I'd recommend giving Georgina and Daan a call. They're based on Lizard Peninsula,so a bit of trek for you, but a great part of the world and two incredibly experienced and lovely people.

    I ended up diving with Georgina at Porthkerris, great weekend away!

    Edit / worth checking Daan's YouTube channel as well....

    My son did the PADI freediving training in Sardinia a few years ago when he was working there - think it was fairly basic but he enjoyed it, although he hasn't done much since (he is also a diver)

    Anyway, freediving courses are a great way to learn more about this amazing underwater sport. These courses will help you learn the basics of freediving, such as proper breathing techniques and safety protocols. They will also introduce you to different types of freediving equipment so that you can choose the most appropriate type for you. In addition, freediving courses may include special training or exercises designed to help you gain confidence and improve your results.
    I hope I am not insulting you, but most of that reads like the output of ChatGPT or another Machine Learning algorithm

    There seems to be a lot of that going on at the moment...

    They also seem to like resurrecting old threads.
    Paul.
    If God had meant us to breathe underwater, he would have given us larger bank balances.
    Human beings were invented by water as a means of moving itself from one place to another.

    ChatGPT says:
    "No, AI chatbots are not capable of being necrophiliacs as they do not have a physical body or the ability to engage in sexual activity. AI chatbots are simply computer programs designed to simulate human-like conversation and respond to user inputs in a specific way based on their programming and machine learning algorithms. They are not capable of having emotions or desires, including sexual desires."
