Frank - I may not be an elite freediver - but I had my VO2 max measured directly at 64, 65 and 72 ml/min/kg.
As for Gerard's reply - I think to sum it up quickly - VO2 max is a rate, not a proxy for total O2 storage capacity. However, those with a high VO2 max are likely to have a high O2 storage capacity too.
So VO2 max may be correlated with performance, but it may not be a direct cause-effect, rather a co-variable of O2 storage capacity.
