I introduced CWJ (Constant weight in jandals) a couple of years ago when I was in the Blue Hole, and am sad to see that it has not yet been picked up by the freediving community with very much enthusiasm...
Best of luck to all the amazing athletes. I hope you get good conditions and great results!!!! * jandal: see also 'flip-flops' or 'thongs' in other parlance. ** Current world record? I did 7m... It's harder on the ascent because they drag away from your heels and operate much like airbrakes do on a jetplane. Maybe with the new Cressi jandals I might get better results. Or a monojandal even!

Sam,
Perhaps in the absence of the regulars here in welly, the Seals could hold a CWJ comp? The harbour should be deep enough, but not quite as blue as Deans... Looking forward to more results. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day, I'm sure! I hope somebody's getting some good footage of all this...

Sounds as though all are enjoying the event. Dave especially(working on his tan)
 I predict all the kiwis will achieve PB's and more than one world record.... Ryuzo sounds like he is really making a huge leap in proficiency - not to mention already being amongst the most proficent in the world. Well done! Will, I have thoroughly enjoyed your athlete profiles. The question about entry to Dean's Blue Hole via the 10 metre drop; How do YOU enter? (I would be happy to try head first, but maybe not the back flip  )Have a blast all! You can all be sure of much moral support

WOW, I'm so excited about this competition, I even dreamed about it last night - Nat pulled a beautiful 57m CNF out of the bag and was sooooo happy! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her, so much so, that I just made a bet with a friend here that she'll make it before the comp is over - come on, Nat, I've got a box on chocolates riding on you now!!!
Good luck to all the competitors, particularly all those of you that I know personally - the Wills, Dave, Ryuzo, Nat, Megumi, Leo... And of course hoping to meet everyone else soon too, somewhere...! Can't wait to see the update for today - feet first CNF (can't quite picture it), and the FRC dives - fascinating developments!!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE, WISH I WERE THERE TOO!!! ;-) Big hugs, GO GUYS! x Sara

OOPS! Almost forgot - WILL, awesome updates, keep them coming, you've made it a great spectator sport, which is SOOO nice to see! Not easy, but well done. Some more photos would be VERY welcome too!
Good luck for your own dives, mate! In your home waters, where you dive best! x S

Cheers, Guillaume, forgot you were there too! Nice pics - now I'm even more jealous I'm not there!
Was that a picture of Winram with SHORT HAIR?!?!? Surely not, his golden locks gone?? How will he dive without them?? Dive on! x S

New update just posted at William Trubridge News
Regarding cliff entry into the Blue Hole, I don't mind jumping off high things, but I have no aerial coordination, and I found this out midway through a head-first dive from about 7m in Corsica. I also broke my nose in LA doing this.
