Hi freedivers!
with -3°C air temperature and 6°C water temperature, I think that this is not far from the coldest conditions I had ever freedive :-).
Luckily I was surronded by the best team, namely Anneke, Dieter and Paul!
Best team around! (photos by Anneke).
To cheer us up, we did an original group picture..falling! Very nice idea from Anneke :D.

Then we swam towards the shinning part of the quarry, namely close to the common reed and there Paul could installed his buoy. We did nice warm-up dives along the cliff. 6°C is a very low temperature but once we were busy with the training we could really enjoy it! Thanks again Dieter for the very nice pictures, always with such a pleasant atmosphere ;-).
Very nice photo shoot by Dieter!
Even if our 7mm Eliossub NJN wetsuit kept us in good conditions after almost 1 hour session, the extremities namely the hands and feet were close to be frozen :-). If you have some tip about that, don't hesitate to let us know ^^.
Time to go out (photo by Anneke).
On the plateform, we could enjoy a warm and tasty tea made by Anneke. That's of course always welcome such a nice starter :D.

And a few minutes later, the lifting trolley braught another suprise because we received warm wine...that somebody was eager to taste...but whom? (see picture below :p).
Happy feet! (photo by Anneke).
Next session in Lessines is March 11th...if you are crazy enough to follow us, let me know ^^.
cheers,
Feli
