Does anyone track the records or at least practice this kind of "discipline"?

How deep is it possible to go without weights and other gear, compared to going with it?

Does it create any more danger? - to me it seems to be even more safe...

I now only train in a pool, so I do not have much choice of using gear anyway, but still what attracts me the most on freediving is that you really do not need anything beside swimsuit (in the more conservative countries ;o) Why spoil it with all that heavy stuff...
