It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.

By the way, you can get a list of all time DNF performances from the new ranking system. Just select "ranking", year=any, discipline=dynamic.
Eg.
AIDA Freediving Results Register
That is, as soon as I have time to update the latest competition results (which incidentally are also the highest ranking eg. the NZ competition is still missing)
This is of course only competition results - attempts aside.

Takk for det Erlend. At first I was a bit disappointed when I realised my technique wasn`t very good, but now I think it`s very positive. I have many things I can improve and maybe even add a few more meters. If anyone has ideas how I can improve please tell me.
Yeah, by improving technic and finding correct weights you may go further, but as we all know, it's not all about the technic...
Anyway, here's some ideas what came in to my mind first when lookin at your dive.
I'm not shure if you should have more on your neck. If you are a bit buoyance when testing glide when pushing from the end of the pool, you have correct weights. It seems more like your legs are very buoyant. Maybe adding some weights on your waist could change your balance (?). What kind of suit are you wearing, by the way? How much do you have weights?
More about technic: With better push and more horizontal turn you'll get at least couple of meters more for free in every lap (seems like the buoyancy is the problem in turns too, you have to kick down wards). Think your arm stroke isn't that bad at all, but the kick goes a bit through.
Anyway, it seems that your diving stamina is very good! You dive much longer time than Anders, but you still go to same meters and you are not speeding up, like most of the divers do.
And hey, remember, that these notices came from dude who dived only 115 m at the same comp (and had samba in 117 day before
). Maybe I'll put my own dive here so everyone can give me good advices to help me to get more meters on my dive too!

I`ve never had problem with my feet floating up before, but I had now. Some of it comes from that I`m generally positive and have to use some effort downwards. The suit is just a yingfa swimmingsuit. No buoyancy in the suit, but I used 3,6kg.
Thanks for your nice compliment fcallagy!
I'm a bit puzzled why this article is so well received, if you can help me understand please PM me.
Thanks to the Counterbalast freediver deep rescue system organisations can keep the competition more exiting by having the deepest divers duke it out last.
In the days where security was provided by Scuba, mix and closed circuit divers, the best was to have the deepest dives first so the rescue compressed air divers could gradually come up and build up less nitrogen, even to a degree decompress in combination with watching the shallowest divers. In other words much more time efficient.
Thanks,
Kars

NORDIC DEEP
Freediving competition - Nordic deep
Due to the World Championships starting in Denmark (300km south) directly after Nordic Deep some athletes might not want to risk the health of their lungs at depth. For these athletes we will offer the following:
- Help with training time in the pool (25 meter, shallow).
- Healthy vegetarian food.
- More opportunities for pool competition starts (if there is room)
- Days of yoga and meditation practice / instead of deepdiving.
- Speciality clinic focusing on CO2/ O2 measurements (+spirometri), static, relaxation, yoga, focus and awareness.
Some funcomps relating to static that might make too serious athletes relax.

I think it is 85m Eric, but maybe Sebastian will take you out to a deeper place further down the fjord. If you're aiming for a WR attempt, I'm sure he will love to help out, although 120m+ may be a bit challenging to realise in practice because of logistics, but I'm sure Sebastian is also very inventive.
Personally I always like to meet DB members in real life, so I hope you come over and enjoy the sweet Scandinavian hospitality.

Hi everyone
After reading about the Nordic Deep I would really like to attend.
But. How do I become an AIDA member in "My" country? I am originally a Danish citzen, but have been living and working in Norway for the last 2 years.
Also I live on a small island in the middle of basically nowhere, so I don't have any clubs or anybody to ask :crutch having said that it is a really nice place to live. 500 metres deep 10min from my house
Hope anyone can give some information. Thanks.
