Videos, videos, videos...

A while back someone posted a video of a monofinner in a pool with the best technique that I have ever seen. It was so good that it appeared that he was moving slowly when in fact he was *FLYING* through the water but you could only tell when you saw some of the safety divers trying to keep up.

I had it bookmarked, but either it's no longer working or I deleted it by accident. Does anyone have it still?

Look on the index page I jsut posted and look at the videos of Peter Pedersen.

Though the technics at many others is interesting too. It is worth of looking more of the video clips

Wow! very nice list. Thanks!
I've got some dvd's too, full with freediving material. I'll put them on www.shark-freediving.com in the next few weeks when I find some time to rip them.

If it is your material, then it is OK, but if you have video of other people, then I'd recommend asking them for permission first - this is exactly the reason I am not putting the full DVD online, but rather just the links.

[trux]

BTW, if you know about some other interesting freediving video clips that you do not find in my list, I'd appreciate if you help me completing and keeping it up to date - just send me a PM (private message) with the URL and I'll add it.

Thanks to the forums of DB and Esprit Apnée I found much more freediving videos. Since yesterday I've added more than 50 new video links to my freediving video list, many very interesting among them. The total is now 322 video clips in the total size of 2.66 GB. Though, that is the size on the DVD - the size of the online versions in original locations may sometimes differ - I converted some videos to other formats when compiling the DVD.

There is also a new section with Samba and Blackout videos or the completed section with Freediving Equipment videos with some very funny devices.

Hope you enjoy the list

I've added another 33 videos to the video index page - the total is now at 355 videos, which represents 3.93 GB on the disk (the size of some online files may differ), and quite likely more than 15 hours (just an estimation).

Strangely I do not get any links, tips, or suggestions from others, and almost no one is commenting here (two positive comments were submitted through the Reputation feedback though) and so am not sure at all if people are interested in it, and if it is worth to continue with the work.

I am permanently finding plenty new videos, without even trying too hard, so cannot believe that nobody knows any videos that I am still missing. Currently I do not plan though adding any spereo clips - there are tons of them everywhere, but since I do not really care about spearing, I have no motivation for collecting those links too.

Thanks, Frank, for the comments and for this excellent link! I was missing some real videos of Natalia (had just two documentary tracks), and had nothing with Ryuzo at all. It is now added to the collection.

Here are DYF videos taken during Czech National Open Freediving Championship held in May 20th in Brno.
I have a few more but wasn't able to identify the divers.

@trux:
Nice compilation, thanks for your work

@sheepeck:
nice clips, any informations about the championships (results and the likes)?

[sheepeck]

Complete results can be checked here: http://odc.cz/freedive/

It was nice action, even though not many competitors have come.

[trux]

I've added sheepeck's videos (thanks!) from AIDA Czech Open to the Video Collection and also many other new videos - the total number is now almost 400 (394 to be exact).

The results of the competition are also at http://www.aida-czech.cz/MCR - it is more detailed and better formatted.

Trux,

you did a great job, really, i had spent the better half of yesterday going over the video clips in your list but as Frank said, we tend to forget saying thanks! Anyway, here is to sweeten up the late thanks, some of the videos from AIDA Hungary site are taken/edited by me - you have full permission to use them for the DVD!

[trux]

Thanks, Sergiu! Yes, you have a nice bunch of good videos there on aida-hungary.hu. Thanks for the permissions - although as I wrote, I do no intend releasing the DVD for public, I am pleased you do not mind keeping them in the private collection. BTW, if any other authors should have objections against listing or archiving their videos (some videos might have been originally intended for real-time streaming only), do not hesitate to contact me - I'l respect the wish, remove such clips and keep the links only (if desired).
