New World Record

I like red tank with a sticker "PROPANE-BUTANE" on it
Yes, rules allow use a snorekel before STA. But for general public such photo will make too many questions.

What questions exactly? You mean someone would think a snorkel can be used for cheating from 5m depth? If they'd manage it, that would be worth of another Guinness record alone!

STA at 5m? Are you busy with creation of new CMAS discipline?

If you did not notice, this thread is not about STA, but about a Guinness record in number of divers breathing from a tank during an hour.

Eric, can you explane this numbers a little bit? I don't quite understand it....

Inhale:Hold:Exhale times in seconds. Those are big numbers, Eric!

The Guinness record of eight divers breathing from a single tank (well, a double tank) and a single regulator during an hour was broken this Saturday. This time they were 13 divers in the team. More details and photos at AIDA-Czech at the following link:

AIDA CZ - freediving, nádechové potápìní



The attempt was watched by experienced AIDA judges, and besides others they also took care that no oxygen or other gas mixes were used prior or during the attempt.

What is interesting is that the last record (8 divers) was set by freedivers, while this one by scuba divers without a specific freediving training.

There's hope for those SCUBA divers yet!
