Hi,
I have seen Herbert Nitsch going Without fins for 132?m (Wiesbaden : WR at that time) in 25 m pool and 137?m in 50 m pool in the netherlands (unofficial WR) and the fact is ... that the technique he used is quite normal except that it is extremely efficient : nice aquacity. He also used a neck weight to avoid twisting up and down with the speed variations between the arm breastroke and the legs movement. He was always well aligned with his direction. I did not remember the time he spent underwater but it was quite long 3 min or so.
I forgot my numbers:
dynamic without fins : around 80 m
dynamic with bi-fins : 100m
dynamic with monofin : 137m (competition)

Unofficially, before blood tests, three new world records in dynamic apnea :
Stig Åvall Severinsen(Denmark), 166m in dynamic without fins
Yamina Enedahl-Mekki(Sweden), 97m in dynamic without fins
Peter Pedersen(Denmark), 200m in dynamic with fins.
This took place this WE in Denmark.
Congratulations to all of them, very impressive.
