AIDA Board would like to inform you ALL of our recent and final decision regarding Mr. Štìpánek record in CNF. As you all know there has been a great deal of controversy related to this record. On first review the decision was to uphold Mr. Štìpánek record at 83 meters. Upon further review by the Disciplinary Committee and an additional vote by the board, it has been decided to reject Mr. Štìpánek 83-meter CNF record. The lack of a tag and the failure of the judges to enforce this regulation have caused the board to decide that Mr. Štìpánek record is not valid.
This decision was not easy for the board to make. And AIDA would like to apologize to Martin, his organizer and his sponsors for this really bad situation. The judges that represented AIDA at the dive have received appropriate disciplinary measures.
