Dave Mullins (NZ) hits 100m in Constant Weight in AIDA NR attempts

[pat fish]

Dahab, Egypt, 9th of june 2007: After surfacing from his 95m CWT dive yesterday, Dave finished a clean surface protocol with the words "whatever" and a big smile. 2 hours ago today, 10th of june 2007 he went for 100m CWT and did it. The man is writing history. Big congratulations Dave. You are the 5th man to hit 100m in Constant Weight under AIDA rules (and certainly you will be tomorrows hottest freediver... go Dave go). Judges were Lotta Ericson and Linda Paganelli. Dave was doing a series of national record attempts under the organisation of Freedive Dahab together with Sara Campbell and me, Pat Schnorf. Me, I had to leave Dahab yesterday and Sara and Dave successfully completed their mission today. Sara did an amazing 65m CWT dive today - writing history in womans freediving too. Well done and big congratulations to the air princess.

Thank you Dave for inspiring us with your amazing dive and your peaceful and friendly way!
Thank you Sara for being a wonderful person and always having a smile and an uplifting comment on the buoy!
Thank you Lotta and Linda from Freedive Dahab for an excellent, lean and professional organisation of our record attempts!
Thank you Sheamus for your cool Aussi humor and for all your assistence during the attempts!
Thank you Christian and Ben for a very good job as safety divers!
Thank you Alain from h20-studio for a professional job with your underwater video work!
Thank you Deeperblue Members for your congratualtions!

Hey Pat

Guess I give up the day job of PR - Thanks for a great update. And thanks for all the thanks. That stuff gets forgotten in all the excitement sometimes.

So, for sure, big thanks to L & L for making it all happen, and thanks to Pat and Dave for making my first record attempt a really great one. Let's do it again sometime...

Pat - we missed you today - beautiful flat calm water and we both did our records outside the Blue Hole.

Cheers!

[pat fish]

you mean you missed me pulling the hole inside-water-counterballast-thing to keep it in position in the current :vangry ...
We had an amazing time yes, the story will go on...

Tee hee! Hurrah, I dived AFTER Dave today, so I didn't have to keep the counterballast system in place today - lucky Michele got that job! But it was perfect weather for it today - no waves at all and hardly and current.

Take care and dive on!

Hey Pat, thanks for all the support and advice! It has been great to meet you guys and this trip has been simply amazing.

I have to echo your thanks to everybody, it was a pain in the ass for everybody to move the counterweight outside the blue hole but there has been willing assistance coming from all quarters and in the end everything went perfectly. Even the weather did me a favour today, it was dead calm.

Dave

[TRITON]

Maybe we'll see a world record in the near future......

 

[Narsil]

Wooooot!!!

Awesome stuff Dave, all those long drives to plumb the cold depths of lake Taupo are paying off big time.

Proud of you man!

A huge congrats to you Dave

 

[ant williams]

Congratulations Dave!

Mate that is an absolutely fantastic series of dives. I guess all you needed was some great ocean conditions to really see how deep you could go. Awesome effort bud, well done!

[shoutatthesky]

The question is how long before you top it Ant? One thing is for sure there is a lot of talent coming through in this little country of ours. Well done Dave!!!

Alain from h2o-Studio provides an insight into Dave's record dive (95m dive the day before his 100m) with this video stream: Dave definitely takes deep diving to a new level...
Thanks for the great video work Alain!

Hi, i was filming dave with his 95 meter record and i put the VIDEO oneline.

En: Dave Mullins (NZ)is going to make a new depth record in CWF for New Zeeland. He wants to brake the 95 Meters. This is just 16 meters away from the actual record off Herbert Nitsch (AUT). I`m sure we have to watch this guy carefully, then soon he wil be back in Dahab for more records to do and of course i am with him in the depth.........
