Thanks guys!

Trux: yeah WRs are a different kettle of fish as far as we're concerned.

Linda: no, I think I need you and Lotta around to remind me of the correct SP!

We would like to get to the stage where people come to us. We are working on the judging ranking, organisational bits, venues, sponsors etc. With Oz's help imagine what we could put together.

Wow, congrats Dave on a huge swim!
100m constant, 175 DNF and 234m DYN ...... it's been a big year for you, I hope it doesn't stop there mate. :)

Also congrats go out to Ant for a great 213m dynamic, been a long time coming. Also to Kieran with 189m, amazing for someone that pretty much only started last year. You guys should start thinking about going in a team comp......

Cheers,
Wal

Dave Mullins: the first person ever to swim 200m both vertically (100 down, 100 up) and horizontally.
Hats off to NZ's freediving all-rounder!
Will.

Very very strong Dave. I knew there is a bright future for your diving when you did that stuff in Dahab ("whatever" - right Linda)... Big congratulations!

Congrats to Dave and Ant on an amazing comp. NZ freedivers are certainly turning heads and I'm sure will do so for quite some time. Funny thing about Kiwis is that when they decide they can be world beaters, there is no stopping them. 234m is an incredible swim and my bet is that he is still just warming up.

Aussies can do exactly the same thing Andy, so why don't you aye?
I think it has to do with something in the water and we aren't talking about the stool. Look what you achieved when you were here.

Hell of a swim Dave!!

It was killer to be a part of such a wonderfully organised event by AIDA NZ with so many Kiwi athletes hitting their stride. I'm stoked for Dave on two unreal performances. Congrats mate (even if swimming after your 234m dynamic sucked!!)

Thanks a ton for the supportive posts on my swim. Passing 200m has been a long time in the making. I have benefited immensely from training with Andy and the other guys in Sydney and from watching the consistently solid performances from Walter at the NZ comps. Cheers guys.

And thank you Ant for being a great competitor. Doing that swim after Dave is a credit to you. You have been able to perform consistently under some pretty harsh conditions and still come out smiling.:inlove

Andy - thanks mate, and sorry I missed your call on sunday.

Ant - I was certainly watching closely, I knew there was another 200m+ swim coming and I wasn't feeling too comfortable! Having you and Wal around for the last couple of years has seriously lifted people's expectations of what's possible and I think that plus the solid support from AIDA NZ are the main reasons behind the performances we're seeing.

It's pretty cool having great divers like Peter, Will and Wal drop in to say congrats, along with the folks from Dahab (just a couple of months guys... I'm getting sick of this cold weather!)

I'm keen to see footage of all those dives (especially Ant's, Kerian's and mine). Not sure how easy it will be to upload it but let me know if I can help with that Fran.

We just about lost your footage forever Dave along with all of Sunday's performances. Returning to our car after training on Monday night we found an empty carpark and immediately thought someone had pinched the car along with the video camera used to take the footage. thank god it had only been towed so i have the camera in my hot little hands minus $200 for the towing fee.
I know everyone is asking for the footage and I am getting there but juggling 100 things at once. I promise it will be available by Saturday when Karl is coming over to show me how to download, and put on UTube (with dial up at the mo it could be a mission but we have overcome harder than this)
