Trux: today's dive by Genoni was sponsored/paid by Mares. Certainly the costs associated with certifying a diving record must be paid by the entity sponsoring the record, be it a club, a commercial enterprise, or a government who wants to promote a turistic place, for instance. I believe AIDA should promote the World Championships event as a unique opportunity to try to set new records under the best of circumstances. The TV rights should provide enough financing, as in the Soccer World Cup, and help promote the sport. Other than that, whoever wants to attempt a world record with the spotlight only for him or herself, should find a way to bear with the costs of certifying.
