Is anybody ask you about color of tanks?
Well, I recommend that you contact Guinness and ask them to disqualify the record, because it was done with a tank of a color you do not like. Or better yet, find eight or more other freedivers and beat their record with a tank of color of your choice You are surely right it is not too difficult, that's finally what the participants told too, so the record will likely not stand for a long time.

Many freedivers use snorkel for preparation. It allows them breathing while having the face submerged, hence triggering a proper diving reflex. Some of the freedivers participating in the attempt, ranked on important freediving competitions, including winning some medals on world championships. Do you really think that having a snorkel attached to their mask makes their performances less respectable?
