I find this absolutely incredible....
"Four and a half minutes is a decent chunk of time. It’s about how long it takes for your coffee to brew or your average shower. So imagine holding your breath for that entire time, while diving 400 feet into a lightless abyss. That’s what world record-holding freediver William Trubridge did–twice–this past week at the annual Vertical Blue diving competition at Dean’s Blue Hole on Long Island, Bahamas."

Impressive, I struggled with a ten meter free dive a couple of days ago!

The video said he was going to try for another on May 3. Has anyone seen that attempt written up yet? Pete

Re: New Free Diving World Record
That's the one in the article when he hit 124m. Sorry, seems I'm confusing things (as is my wont ) - I posted the link but took a separate video from YouTube.....the video show's his first dive reaching 122m.prcscct wrote:The video said he was going to try for another on May 3.
