Thanks Donna. Great photos Sam, although I've only seen the Flickr ones so far. Laura Storm has some good Angel ones, also on Flickr. Hopefully Flavia will be able to give us a link to her underwater set as well.
What an official-top weekend, eh? It was great meeting those of you I haven't met before - Ross, Brian, Stuart, John to name but four....and also to see the return of older familiar faces like Haydn. Every year Double-Dip gets better. OK, we had a few showers on Saturday, but the weather was generally kind to us. Everyone who helped out put in 100%, and made the whole thing go like clockwork. An organisational masterpiece. Also a great boost for British Freediving, along with the Brockwell and Camberwell pool competitions. As with many competitions, you so often want to get your performances over and done with ( cleanly! ), and then wish you could go back and do them again. Well done everyone - athletes as well. No blackouts or tantrums, and happy faces all-round. A great comp for Benny and Penny to finish off with in the UK as well, although I have a feeling they'll try to make it back here again someday. Last but not least, what an amazing world record! The official results going on the AIDA web page on the day after the competition. I must be dreaming....

Everyone - thanks for such a great weekend - the photos really help re-capture the spirit! Rain or sunshine it mattered not. Looking forward to our next meet!
