Bloody hell! I knew there was a reason I stayed up tonight!
Just flabberghasted, well done Dave!!!! 244m in a 33m pool... what's that 7 turns? 4:02.... I did a 4min static the night before last.... it felt pretty ordinary but imagine doing a dynamic for that long? I really can't get my head around that. Glad to hear he had a bit of stress at the end, I was a bit worried you were not of this planet!
Well done.
Cheers,
Ben
ps hope all the other guys are doing well too.

Actually, it's a 50m pool, so Dave was within 6 metres of his 5th turn. They can put a divider up to split the pool into 2 x 25 metres, which is obviously good for no fins.
The only downside of Dave's huge swim today is that he'll be too tired to have a crack at the no fins record later today.
Just the last statics and no fins attempts this afternoon, and then we're done for this comp.

I realy think it is nice to see south pacific (that remote corner of the world 
showing up on the world champion freediving scene lately (Will and Dave). Even though a Dyn close to 250 is awesome for us that are happy to turn at 100 - I do believe that the DYN long since have been waiting to be moved up to those levels. The understanding of dive response, new preparation methods, hydrodynamics, temperature, new fins, understanding of diet - and the fact that there are more acess to pools than to deep good sea diving, and more available judges and comps - all this has been pointing out that DYN should be at 250 ....according to me.
(I think that FIM is in the same situation: if one of our world champs hade the financial resources and focused on this discipline we will see 120 dive soon).
Anyhow. Congratulations Dave.

Well done Dave - hopefully you'll have time when you come up for breath to tell us all about it. A fantastic result and congrats to New Zealand for their terrific sportsmen as well.
