These are what I witnessed......

[Lammy]

Sam,

Bryn for the bubble rings!

I'll challenge anyone to a splash off if i don't have the worst duck dive!

Lammy

Theo's constant weight (saltfree) is riding at 65m I think.

 

[Padowan]

I reckon Jeff from the course last weekend gets the worst duckdive - Mr Crocs bore witness to it too. I reckon that it would have given that Killer Whale at SeaWorld a run or it's money at getting people wet!

I think Theo was 66m the other week CW+Fins.

 

[AltSaint]

Simon is right - Theo holds the deepest at 66m. Hot on his heels at 62m is the saltfree record for UK CW, held by some bloke who wears dodgy hoods at competitions and points at people. Same geezer did 52 metres in FI last October, but I don't know how that compares to Ocean Man's FI.

[samdive]

nationalities don't count..... we are all one happy saltfree nation...

so no prizes for kenyans, aussies, or indeed "UK records (just cos a yank is beating you!!!)

Dave Crocs is telling me he should win because his Stinger went to 71m.

 

[samdive]

oh yeah and there is also a record for fastest rope pull from 50m. Dave says you are all welcome to practise any time

Yeh, but Laura's Stinger's been to 108m.... :martial

 

[laura storm]

Yeah ... eat my African stardust!

Hmmm - perhaps there should be records for the veterans over 40....?

We could have another category for freedivers whose current PB's were set at saltfree meets. After all, for a lot of us it isn't so much competing aginst each other, it's competing against ourselves. Plus getting a PB at the NDAC is worth more than the gin-clear warm waters of the tropics. Just a thought.

 

[laura storm]

Ah ... there's life in the old dog yet ... 40+ and with sprinkles!

Are you aware of the new ageism laws! We are no longer allowed to differentiate on age and if you ever call me a veteran again I'll come round and bash you with my Zimmer frame
BTW Anne-Marie has done 45m CWT and 49 FIM at Chepstow.

 

[AltSaint]

I'll slap you with my slippers and poke you with my pipe....

 

[Bubble]

Regardless of age or nationality, how about deepest freedive in a drysuit?

 

[samdive]

I did 5m once and it hurt like hell...... not recommended...

 

[Bubble]

Hey presto! you are now the record holder in two disciplines!
