Re: New free diving record: 1899 meters!

What a dumb article! The article claims the previous 'record' was 4000ft (1219m) by the sperm whale. In fact, even elephant seals have gone over 1800m, and sperm whales have done 3200m. The 1899m 'record' isn't even close to the real record!

I don’t claim to know what it will be like to be in your position, but I know that when you leave here, grades will be handed out differently. Your ability to gauge your success will largely depend on how you perceive it. You can shape it, set it up, feel it, and define it. Allow competition to turn inward. Do not depend on awards, money, or other validations." -Jonny Moseley
