The Angels' Story
Posted By Laura Harris on 16 July 2004
The Angels Team
The weekend of the UK National Freediving Championships saw for the very first time the complete Angels team converge as one. The support circus had come to town! After months of planning and dedication, 19 volunteer divers merged, magnanimous in their objective. From deep within the aquatic arena The Angels shone, doing what they do best in their unassuming, accomplished fashion - a faultless, slick and very well oiled machine.
And when it was all over, we partied … as only heavenly creatures or the devil knows how!

To The Future
Fulfilling a dream is as much in facing the challenge as it is in realizing an end result and if one is to break down some of the misconceptions and barriers that seem to divide the freediving and technical diving fraternities, then the challenge continues. There is however a certain satisfaction, that rare sense of belonging to something unique and special that saltFree and The Angels have achieved. An unparalleled and successful amalgamation of opposite ends of the diving spectrum.
Ode to The Angels
The Angels were all singing out of tune
And hoarse with having little else to do
Excepting to smile at the sun and the moon
Or curb a runaway young star or two.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824) English Poet
