That's his ultimate.. i think Eric Fattah wrote somewhere that the next attempt will be 250. Nothing official announced yet (dates?) - so for the meantime... go Patrick! 220 metres is an incredibly long way down, most trimix divers dont do that on a regular weekend dive... ;-)

Well, I asked Patrick for some more information about the planned attempt, and indeed got an answer from him. Although he cannot comment yet on the record attempt, he's looking for a partner for a tandem NLT descend. So those who are ready for the ride can find some more details in this post: http://forums.deeperblue.com/general-freediving/82497-musimu-220-m-nlt-attempt.html#post762383

Is it 200 or 220? He's done 209 already.

In the French TV document, they speak about 220 m, but Musimu wrote he could not comment yet. I guess the final depth and time are not yet definitively set.

Tandem? Thats a whole new thing in NLT?? Who's up for the ride?

 

[Erik]

Pipin arranged some tandem dives in the past.

A bit of a red herring here then!!

I will have to delete the news article and pay less attention to rumours!
