... I found this information about a World Record Attempt (?):
On May 12 William Trubridge will try to break the world record in the Unassisted Constant Weight discipline. Freediving without fins, William will attempt to swim past the existing record of 80 meters (262 feet) set by the Czechoslovakian Martin Stepanek in March 2005. The record attempt will take place in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, at the Columbia Ventaglio resort. The Apnea Academy Egypt is organising the event, and 17 times world record holder Umberto Pelizzari will be present, acting as safety support freediver. http://www.verticalblue.net/news.htm

That's at the same place as the world record week as Carlos Coste's attempts. Good luck to both!

Will has already broken the 80m CNF record in practice, as well as done something like 60 dives over 75m... he has recently had fish poisoning and is trying to recover in time for the attempt....
Best of luck to him.
