Awesome stuff! Is that horrible noise the winch? Makes it seem like Herbert can hear it when he's underwater! :duh

I loved the narrator swearing throughout - nice to hear someone being amazed or surprised for a change. Was that you Alki?

New World Record by Herbert Nitsch, Austria in the AIDA sled discipline No Limit, 214meter/702feet is the new record. With this dive Herbert confirm that he is the deepest man ever on this planet. The dive was a fantastic 29 meter deeper than his previous record of 185m. The record took place on Spetses, Greece. The dive was monitored by 3 SUUNTO Dive Computers that gives us an estimate of the dive profile, and you can download the dive profile here. The dive was also monitored by two Liquivision dive computers, F1 - but unfortunately they both broke down before reaching 200m.

From AIDA Website, what happened with the F1?

Incredible dive, congratulations Herbert

Congratulations Herbert! Your innovation has taken the sport of NL diving to a new level. Well done.

Any problems, i.e. ears, sinuses, coughing, hemoptysis, edema, fatigue, etc. It would be great to know from a medical perspective how you felt.

Also, what was your post-dive oxygen breathing protocol? Did you go back down to do any additional in-water decompression aside from the deco stop on ascent?

Cheers, and enjoy the celebration.
