Sam Still from the UK just reset the UK record at 6 min 14. The surprise of the day came as Natalia Fernandez, who we expected to go for a World Record, came up at 5 minutes, well short of the 6 minute 31 held by Lotta Ericsson.
well done to the two Dorothea boys. i'm very proud of you both.
Sam Still, 68m, 6'14" (2 new UK records - enough said!)
Dave Harries, 58m, 5'58" (2 awesome performances)
also well done to DaveK and Mark - great results. second place for the UK men is a fantastic achievement. the UK women did very well also. some great performances there also.

Deepest Bear Incident
To: everyone involved in the Deepest Bear Incident last night.
Maybe now the hangovers have kicked in, you are feeling differently. However I thought I would make the point that stealing and destroying something that a fellow freediver has spent over two years putting thought, effort, creativity and even some money into is pretty low, cruel and hey even illegal.
Saddened, angry and distinctly unamused
Sam
PS Tanya, I thought you were into protecting marine mammals!

To quote Tanya Streeter, prior to the burning of the bear:
"I left him at 160m for 25 minutes and he STILL DIDN'T DIE...."
It appears that the bear was much harder to kill than people originally thought. Nonetheless, in the end, the freediving mob was victorious.
Everything happens for a reason. Cosmic justice is always served. If the bear is burning in hell as we speak, then it is because of his crimes against humanity.

Beware all teams around the world. The ultra secret Stuffed Toy Assassination Team formed over a year ago has claimed its first successful mission behind enemy lines.
Our assassination techniques are varied and our cunning unrivaled.
This is a warning to all team mascots...your days are numbered....

Just like my friend AgentA said, our team was preparing for this and we had our first successful mission.
I was the one who set the Bear on fire, after the outcome of a democratic procedure.
To the friends of Deepest Bear:
The Bear and myself had a talk on the balcony, just before his end. I want you to know that he didn't feel a thing, since he was too drunk. He had lots of 90% alcohol and just before the end he said: "Please do it". So I did it.
I hear he was cloned and that perhaps he will be back. So this might turn into a nice game...
Asta la vista baby!

I would like to announce the sincerest efforts to save Deepest Bear in the face of the usual effective democratic systems as demonstrated during the execution by the following good willing men:
Michael Antinori
Daryl Caves
Tyler Zetterstrom
May they not be forgotten for their efforts... futile as they may have been.
Although, I noticed there are a number of variances in the accounts of how exactly this all unfolded, seemingly dependent upon the exact quantities of liqour injested prior to the incident.
Cheers and had lots of fun with you all!

Let me get this straight...
Sam Kirby spends loads of time and money over the last two years sending the very cute deepest bear around the world to record attempt after record attempt and turns it into an icon of goodwill and good luck to anyone in the attempts and anyone just watching (such as myself). Then some of you at this party get drunk and light it on fire, destroying it, because you think it'd be funny.
It's not funny. It's completely disrespectful to Sam. It's awful and cruel. Even if Sam did something to offend you lot, this wasn't the way to deal with it.
