Old fart Competition?

[okiecaver]

I'm 48, long time scuba diver and in good shape. I am getting into apnea and I'm fortunate to have some top divers nearby.

Is there such a thing as Masters or Over 40 categories in apnea competition? Or is age irrelavant?

Thanks and dive safe

diving age

we have a more "experienced" diver down here by the name of Volkmar who dived 50m before Skin or myself and has been setting the standards for many years. I get the impression diving improves with age!

The IAFD organization has 'Senior' categories for every event. Annabel Briseno holds 'senior' records in several women's events. I believe senior to them means over 50 yrs old.

does the IAFD still exist?

The IAFD still exists and recently released the FREEDIVER-Pro line of gear. You can find it on their website.

They have stated that Pipin's next record attempt will be happening in the next few months.
