hmm what is the theoretical constant depth , Dyn and DNF , if person can easily reach 5' static and personal best is 6'11'' ?

regards
a reasonable method for comparing is the performance index ; you divide your perf by the corresponfing WR...

example : 6'11" corresponds to a performance index k = 6:11/8:58 = 0.690 ;

then the corresponding perf in DYN = 200 X 0.690 = 138 m

the corresponding DNF = 166 X 0.690 = 114 m

the corresponding CWT should be : CWT = 103 X 6'11"/8'58" = 71 m ...

you might be surprised at this depth because you probably have compensation problems which stop you before your "apnea" limits... if you do less than 71 m, most probably, you are not out of breath when you emerge...
