Congratulations to Herbert Nitsch on his great record. I hope he is in full health and raring to go for more.

This is a fantastic few days for record-breaking in freediving.

Congratulations Herbert. He is comming to Greece next week for the Summer Games and we are preparing a very long rope for CWT - this is going to be fun

Cheers Stavros

No, I think it is Marin's (uw cameraman from Sibenik) boat. Zeljko was there only on wednesday.

Hello

This week end I read an article about Nitsch's new no-limit world record.
I read something strange about his compensation method.
It seems he used a balloon.
Can someone explain me his method.
Thanks.

Thanks Jorg
A good picture worths a thousands of explanations.

When I first read the news, about Nitsch's world record, I was a bit incredulous.
I cannot understand how AIDA can homologate a freediving world record with such an extension tool.
It seems very strange to me.
Am I the only one?
