Bobby,
I confer.
Water Rat,
If I’m not mistaken those times come from an old Genius Book of World Records. Robert Frost’s record after breathing O2 for 30 minutes was just a freak show. Georges Pouliquinin’s record in France in 1912 would not have had anywhere near the controls modern freediving competitions do and was probably another freakshow.
27 years ago would place you in the same era of greats like Mayol and Enzo. For you to claim that you were doing times surpassing the greats of that time is a slam to all athletes of that area and this who train hard and honestly share their achievements. The new AIDA body for the U.S. is the United States Apnea Association. They plan on holding 3 competitions this year. If you can really do 6’40” lets see you enter a competition and do it! Otherwise, on this forum, trying speaking the truth.
Drew
