Congratulations Eric!

Eric is packing again! But how far will he go? Is the first Canadian 100m CWT possible this VB?

What did years of FRC diving and research bring to this new record?

And off cause we want to see the X1 dive profile from one of the most inventive freedivers out there!

Love, Courage and Water,

Thanks for replying!

Wow Eric, that's a very detailed nice graph! - It almost looks like a heartbeat sensor! LOL

Hopefully you'll have the time later on to tell your detailed -92m or other dive story.
I think for instance that I see on the way op that you at times do 3 softer strokes, to spare your legs I presume.
Also from the report I understood you forgot your neck weight, does that change your terminal glide velocity much?

I hope you got still some room in the tank and can hit -100 before the competition is over!
Retaking the National CWT must already be a very nice morality booster!

Love, Courage and Water,

[Kars]

Maybe he's just using his psycho warfare techniques on the competition? LOL

Hahaha... that is so true!

He goes for 100m tomorrow. Gad, I can't sit still!
