Hi,
in the beginning of 2024, on january 12th, I did my first "Freedive Everesting"

Inspired from "Lance Lee Davis" there was the wish to do something big.

My name is Daniel Weißhoff from Berlin, Germany. I am a freediver since 2006. Additional long years of running and bicycling.

In the beginning of summer 2023 I start planing for this big project.

Location:
Dive4Life (Indoor Diving Tower, 20 m)

Date:
12.01.2024 Start at 08:00 in morning

The Plan:
222 dives to a depht of 20 meter.

9 dive sessions 25 dives, one dive evere 3 min.
45 seconds dive time and recovery of 2:15 min is followed the surface intervall of the molchanovs system

Team:
2 Safety Freediver (change every 2 sessions)
1 Doc (Check of temperatur, Blood pressure, oxygen, saturation, heartrate and other; after every session)
My parents
2 Friends for foot service
A lot of friend for motivation

After 12 h, 57 min and 9 sec, I finished my last dive.

Training for that record:
3 Testdays in three month before the record with 50, 100 and 150 dive in one day. Every testday we followed the 3 minutes intervall.
Before the start we take pictures in swimming clothes to picture the color of skin. Also after every 25 dive to compare with the start.
It was a hart long day. uncount number of frenzel equalisation and nice talkings with my safetys to forgot the time. My Experiance from cycling helped a lot to know my body. Main part was to have a good plan for eating and drinking.
additional long swimming sessions, CO2 tables and repeating 50-60 dives of 50 dives in pool every 1:30 minutes.

Session 1 (Dive 001-025)

Session 2 (Dive 026-050)

Session 3 (Dive 051-075)

Congratulations! That's truly amazing.

As I recall, Lance did it in the ocean from a small boat. That must have been even harder.
