No WR status on the competition?

We will see 250 within a year.

Judges are all E ranking, lucky athletes are A+ ranking.

That's a challenge.

Was there any video of this great dive?

 

[trux]

I find not only the performance absolutely impressive, but also the way it was announced - without claiming a world record and without even mentioning it. That's in a strong contrast to Stephane Mifsud who danced with a giant board claiming a world record of 213m DYF, although being aware that it never can be certified as such (and knowing there was already a 215m German national record). My deepest respect goes to the athlete and his colleagues for both the performance and the modesty.

Simply stunned...

I can barely walk that far without getting out of breath

Congratulations Dave!

 

[f3dive]

Thanks for your kind thoughts Trux.

 

[f3dive]

Watts, there is footage. Unfortunately from the surface not underneath (I think the floater in the pool the day before put the videographer off)

Will post the footage in the next day or two.

 

[Waterysmile]

Awwwright! Top stuff.

Well done, Dave.

Trux,

"That's in a strong contrast to Stephane Mifsud who danced with a giant board claiming a world record of 213m DNF,"

You always wrote DNF:rcard , that is not true!!!

Dave!

You are amazing!

Argh, yes sure, you are right it was DYF, not DNF. I do not know why I mixed it up, because I know well it was with fins. Sorry for that.

 

[trullalla]

we are so much impressed!
did you say "whatever" after the protocol?

cheers

Hey Dave! I'm torn between feeling this is absolutely amazing, and, having seen you in action, actually it's not that surprising at all! You're an amazing diver - and I know there's more to come. See you soon

F*ck! All I can say is f*ck!

Well done Dave, both in DNY and DNF, superb!

And well done to Ant too for a massive dive too - anything around and beyond the 200m mark is world class and deserves the utmost respect.

Cheers,
Ben

ps Did I not say 4 days ago that this comp would have some big big performances?

 

[littlefreediver]

(Gipsy Rose) Benny, you've obviously dusted off your hoop earrings, glittery shawl and crystal ball - what else do you see?

 

[f3dive]

Hey Benny, it would have been even bigger if some of those fellow countrymen of yours stopped pretending they weren't training and actually came over to compete :t

(Gipsy Rose) Benny, you've obviously dusted off your hoop earrings, glittery shawl and crystal ball - what else do you see?

I see water.... lots of water.... and people with funny accents taking over the world...

Fran - I hear you. That's all i'm gonna say.

Seriously though, if you look at how NZ competitive freediving has come along in the last years it's been amazing. If only Aus and NZ were a bit closer to the rest of the world then maybe we'd see some of those guys competing regularly instead of once a year at best...
