Principles

More than 30 freedivers of varying degrees of experience will compete. Therefore, the competitors are divided into two categories: PROFI and NON-PROFI. In the first case, more experienced freedivers compete at full pool depth. On the other hand, the less experienced group competes only up to the depth of 20 m.

Since we are talking about depth competitions that are held in a confined space, special rules were needed. Therefore, competitors can submerge within their preferred CNF, CWT or FIM discipline. They then surface to a depth of 2m, where they continue their attempt in the form of static.

Live broadcasting

As you can see, limited depth will always lose out to unlimited imagination and Deepspot Challenge II promises to be exciting! If you would like to follow the competitors live, it is possible. At dedicated pageYou can find the live broadcast at this address. This is not only a great opportunity to participate in the competition as a fan, but also to promote the Polish facility.

Ambassadors

The guest of honour of the 2nd edition of the competition is Miguel Lozano. Professional athlete, world record holder and medallist at the AIDA World Championships in Cyprus.

Magdalena Talanda with medals — Magdalena Solich-Talanda, Freediver

Among the ambassadors of Deepspot Challenge II is also the Polish champion and one of the best freedivers in the world Magdalena Solich-Talanda. One could write a lot about the successes of the athlete from Bielsko-Biała, but the simplest thing to say is that there is no place she is not going for a gold medal.

Therefore, adding it all up, we can be sure that there will be plenty of attractions underwater and on the surface!
