Re: New Freedive Discipline

Well yes, there is nothing new with it - since it is the oldest of them all.
This event would not have been if not Sebastian Murat had inspired us to do this and some of the top CNF guys helped to develop the rules. The noseclip spoils it - but swimming down without a noseclip may seriously damage your health (speaking of experience).
We are a bit divided regarding the weigths - some women I have consulted demanding the possibility of using weights.
Will Winram is enthusiastic but not fully so until swim cap is allowed (his hair will cause friction), but this is the point - we want to see his hair flowing. Will Trubridge likes it but thinks it is suitable for 26 degrees and above only. He is reluctant to leave his Orca suit that has the perfect bouyancy for him. I guess Fattah would disagree about the temperature (optimum temp for him is 17 degrees I believe). And Herbert, well he is up for anything, and welcomes a discipline without many rules. I hope they all will try this discipline one day.
Sebastian
