Re: Patrick Musimu - new record attempt?

100m with no fins, no weights and no rope... absolutely. But not for 10 minutes...
I think the no fins record will eventually be taken by an FRC diver, as this is the category where FRC dives gives the biggest advantage. A muscular diver with low body fat would not require any weights (with no wetsuit).
I think a 100m FRC CNF dive is possible and will probably occur within 5 years or sooner. With giant visibility it could be done with no rope and just scuba divers.
Of course the 100m CNF dive may occur with packing even sooner than that. Trubridge already did 90m CNF in training. He's adding about 4m per year, that would bring him to 100m in 2-3 years (2010, 2011).
