Hia all,
the Okinawa Freediving Invitational competition was held this weekend in ... Okinawa :duh (where else?)
Does anybody know of a website or has anybody heard any results? I just got an email from my friend William Winram who competed and he told me that he did CWT dive of 80m the first day and 66m in CNF (respect :cool:) the second day. Any other results?

Cheers Stavros
 
Pretty taxing conditions from what I heard. Looked good on the surface but there was a howling current apparently. A mate there said that he was doing horizontal static hangs in the current!

Results i've heard so far. Constant Weight - 80m from William Winram, Walter Steyn did 77m, Deron Verbeck was going for 71m in Free Immersion but turned a little bit early in one of his dives, i'm a bit hazy there on details there. In No-Fins Wal did 62m clean but forgot to take his noseclip off (continuing a trend in elite divers :head )

Here is a website, might need a little help from translators though...

Cheers,
Ben
