Wow, that's even quicker than I go with a monofin. I did the -60m at the Pacific Cup in 1'26'' without a wetsuit. This dive was timed by one of my teammates.
In a lake in Germany I did a -55m dive in 1'12'' but that is only the time the Mares Apneist freediving computer meassured. The real time for that dive I think was about 1'15'' because this computer does not start the divetime before being at -2m. I did that dive with a 5mm-suit and without any weights.
At those speeds I kick for the whole dive except at the end to avoid jumping out of the water like some dolphin. It's like doing a vertical dynamic dive. I don't know if it's good or bad to dive that fast. Next season I will try if it works too when I dive slower.
When did Pipin do this fast -60m dive?
