Freediving and spearing in Leigh
I always wanted to go for a dive with Phil "no-fins" Clayton. He is one of the club's founding members and as the name suggests, a no-fins specialist. No-fins spearfishing anyone? Phil does that. That elusive Leigh Reef One bright summer morning, Hillary (our guest...

Freediving with a purpose
Freediving is a selfish sport. You go down, you come up and then feel relaxed and satisfied for the rest of the day. Apart from the safety diver, there ain't even any spectators to cheer you up. It's all about you. A few months ago Ash King, one of our long-standing...
Mid-Hangs Training Plan
