On Mark Barville's Freedivelist, I heard a story of a greek diver who lives at immense altitude, in the mountains. He probably has a huge hematocrit from living so long at altitude. Apparently he would come down to sea level a few times per year to go spearfishing.
Even without any practicing or training, on his first day in the water he would be spearfishing repetitively at 45-47m for 3'00+ with something like 1'00 intervals in between dives! With bifins of course.
