I`m new on DB and just wanted to say Hello.
I was introduced to freediving in Bergen and started out spearfishing there. In 2007 I moved to Oslo and started training with "Oslo fridykkerklubb." So I`ve trained a good year now and I`m participating in my first competition in the end of this month. (Aarhus triple challenge) No high ambitions, just want to check out competitive freediving. But I need all the help I can get from you guys, so I`m in here a few hours each day to learn something new.

Welcome, B-J! Aarhus Triple Challenge was my first competition too, you will be in good hands there. This forum is also a good place to start. Have a good read, ask as much as you like and train well

Freediving in Norway is cold yes, but we have thick opencell suits so we keep warm. But changing in the winter with hot, soapy water in a few degrees Celsius is not a lot of fun.
Spearfishing is most common on the westcoast of Norway, and I`ve had some wonderful dives there. Popular fishes to spear are catfish(wolffish), monkfish(bullmouth) and cod. So we have few hideous fishes to spear. A small video her:

That's awsome, I couldn't even picture what Norway conditions would be like, great video
What's the water temp when there's ice on top? I complain when it gets below 60 degrees F....

The watertemp would be very close to the point where it freezes. From this movie its from a river I think so it`s possible it`s below 0`C
Here is another video of winter freediving from Oslo. My friend Gordon is Diving and Steinar is holding the camera

Cheers and welcome, it's a good forum.
Great vid- looks a lot like our west coast Canada conditions and environment. I'd love to come to Norway and dive someday. Erik (yes, some Norwegian blood in me haha).

It's not as cold as it looks... winter sea temps are OK, it's the getting changed in a blizzard that is the problem.

Nice to see you too Elisabeth. I was doing well for the competition, but then I became sick. Maybe I did to much. I`ve trained more DNF than DYN lately. Are you planning "no suit" in the outdoorpool as well?
