Hola Cerbaztian !!

Not 100 percent sure, but I think Trever Hutton may have been past 65 on
bi's.

Chat later!

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

Ant Williams & Dave Mullins from this end of the world (New Zealand). Those dives will show up when the next update to the AIDA ranking list is out. Walter Steyn certainly could go past 80m too, but I'm not sure if he's done it in competition.

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

>80m with fins

Alejandro Ravelo 81m
Gianluca Genoni 90m
Patrick Musimu 88m
Pipin Ferreras 87m samba

>65m with bifins
...very many... including many unknowns
Kirk Krack 70m
Trevor Hutton 72m (Blue Gara 2000)
Mandy Cruickshank 67m
Deborah Andollo 65m
Tom Lightfoot 68m
Frederic Buyle 72m
Eric Charrier 73m (RIP)

Since you have included at least two non competition divers, may I have honorable mention for my 64.9, please. Or I'll have to re-apply later this year.
lol

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

What about William Trubridge does he ever dive with fins? He made it past 80m with no fins at all. I didn't see any records on my brief search for him doing competitions with fins.

Martin Stepanek and Herbert Nitsch have also crossed 60 without fins.

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

Are you talking about ANY result or just competition results? Stavros, active on this forum, is a bifin diver diving deeper than 70. I do not think he has had a ranking result that deep though...

Has Thomas Grindewold been deeper than 80 in front of a judge?

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

Giacomo de mola did 80+ in dahab before the world cup in hurghada.
I also suspect thar Krisijan Curavic has done 80+ but That might be wrong. Maybe someone can confirm it.

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

You can strike me from that list: I haven't done anything deeper than about 55-60m with mono or bi-fins. Should really give it a go I suppose, but I'm still having a lot of fun with just my toes...
William.
P.S. Also no extra e in Trubridge thanks

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

Hya All,
interesting idea this list
As Per mentioned I have done several dives bellow 70m on bifins the deepest being a 74m dive that took almost 2:50 and was very nice and clean (see profile)
I tried twice on competition to go for 71m on bifin but the first time at last years 3ple depth I stopped at 59,8 due to a failure to equalize and then at our summer games I got the tag but got a BO at the surface .

Anyways - it was a lot of fun diving with bi-fins but following a comment from an unknown Austrian diver I spoke to in Dahab I have now switched to a mono (the guy show me after I had done my first PB past 70 walking out of the water with my fins under my arm - pointing at my fins and with a strange look on his face he said: "you went how deep with those things? ...you should try a mono")

So no more deep bi-fin diving for me...

Also to the list you can add Panos Lianos who has been to 66m in competition (Nice WC 05) - panos has done 71m in training and Giorgos Giorgas who also did 66m in competition with bi-fins.

Cheers
Stavros (Kastrinakis)

Re: Deepest freedivers of the world

Mark Harris also did 67m in training for Egypt. I think he was the deepest bi finner in the event.
Not bad for an old guy that can't stick to one finning style
