Yes I'm sure he intends to claim the WR from Herbert.
Why stop 64cm short?
um ok, whatever.. zzzIn 2014 I will attempt to break the No Limits Diving world record by diving nearly 700 feet
I don't think he has any sponsor from the local diving operators ,nor that he will have ...but he should be able to rent boats and scuba tanks without problems (with 3000 psi in it ..)Hmmmm, I wonder which dive companies, if any, will be sponsoring him? Do you think his reputation will preclude anyone associating their name with him?
AIDA doesn't need to endorse records for people to do equalisation training. I agree they're great fun and a useful training tool, but I still believe that endorsing records encourages pushing the limits of sled diving, encourages the potentially dangerous chasing of records and adds legitimacy to these activities. Personally, I've dived and trained with two people that have suffered brain damage, one who had a serious case of DCS, two with serious and deep blackouts and one that is no longer with us, all because of sled dives. All were chasing AIDA records. There are plenty of divers with even worse stories. I just don't want to see any more friends and colleagues crippled or lost forever.I think sleds at shallow depths are a great tool to train equalisation. You can get down there no effort and have time to work things out as opposed to on cwt. They are also great fun, I was on one once at 40m where we hadn't enough air to lift the bag but it was no biggie as we just finned back up like a 20m cwt dive from an energy expenditure point of view. Love them or hate them they are part of our freediving heritage. At recreational depths (this side of 50M imho) I think they have their place.
