Ha! That explains the cut rope!

You mean this one? SP v globinskih disciplinah 2007 : apnea tekmovanja - Page 3

Thanx to the Serbian team who taped it.

Man, thats a white tip reef shark!
Looks like your diving with handicaps! 1 point added for losing a hand near the plate due to shark problems......
Or you might come up now and say that someone stole your tag, i'd believe it!

Wow Mullins going strong... maybe to strong? I wos under impression that will be reverse, Herb and Dave... Coste "only" 99m?

[perow1]

Coste 103...
....Guillaume "only" 99.
Cannot wait until tomorrow...

Both the Williams are 'holding back' with dives of 70 and 75, so they might announce big/deep for the last day. We know Mullins can do 2 BIG performances in a row, and Herbert ain't exactly weak sauce, so it looks like the CNF competition could be even more exciting.

99 meters?! i guess i'm a little newer to freediving than i thought; i didn't even know it was possible to go that deep!

Actually that's an oceanic white tip, can be extremely aggressive and dangerous! bloody hell!

see this photo, its the same animal, longer fins than a white tip reef shark and fatter body.

Here's a snapshot of the list:

The top times will change once more, but the order and APs should be final.

We were told in the event committee that the ropes didn't actually break, but the they had been rubbing agaist the edge of the platform and clearly worn out so they wanted to replace them. I'm all for that desicion

Unfortunately I cannot update the results tomorrow because the schedule is so tight. I'll be either coaching or preparing my self most of the day. The organizer does not have the resources to do it, so well just have to go old fashioned (unless someone on location with free time and a computer steps up?)

SanSan, I was told there was a swordfish in addition to the shark...

no wayy.... i prefer a swordfish to that shark though

[TRITON]

Me and the rest of the Serbian team were training when the shark arrived........it was very relaxed ,we even touched it several times.
Maybe we should put it on the competition list

ha! How cool is that.... it looked like a youngster as well. Best of luck for tomorrow guys and safe dives

[jome]

Sheehs, I was much happier before reading that wiki. "The most dangerous of all sharks", sounds fun

[Marwan]

I hate oceanic white tips....they are big, curious and sometimes aggressive...they sometimes bump into you actually..i remember the first time i saw one, the rest of the sharks were running away from him lets just say , its good i was wearing a dark wetsuit....
