Congratulations to Stéphane.

8'24'', that's an impressive number.
The best inofficial static performance I've ever heard of is Timo Kinnunen's 8'29'' in 2002-12-07, followed by Herbert Nitsch's 8'27'' in Cypress. 8'24'' is pretty close to these numbers. I wonder if it was a personal best for Stéphane.

If anybody knows someone who did more than 8'29'', please let me know.

When is/was Stéphane going for the dynamic record?
Please post the result.

Yup, that is amazing ! still can't see the purpose of static, or it's connection to diving. it has nothing to do with diving, but that can be debated in many ways. Max, yeah i know some people (yoga masters) who can hold their breath for a long time, how long ? twenty minutes ! hope they never compete, or we'll look a bit ridiculous. however, i do NOT want to be negative as Stephane's time is really huge and it surelly make me look ridiculous.
delphicly, Noa

Way to go Stephane Mifsud! An amazing accomplishment!

I feel a little sorry for Martin Stephanek. He lost two of the most prestigious records in one year. I saw in the Performance Freediving thread where someone said he may try for the dynamic world record next month. Maybe this will further motivate him.

Congrats Stepfane. Amazing time.
I must have gotten some of you energy because without knowing you where doing you magic that day, i broke the Dutch National record at a for your standards humble 6:04. I am very happy with it since i only started freediving one year ago.
But i don't think you should be afraid yet
