Very cool video...

BTW was William using a lanyard? I cannot see one...Or is just very thin?

 

[glennv]

No he was not. But then again he had Umberto as his extreme deep safety ;-)

Isn't it required by AIDA rules? Or wasn't it an AIDA sanctioned attempt?

You don't need to use a lanyard for record attempts, only for competitions. However, if you don't have a lanyard, you need a scuba diver on the bottom, whereas with a lanyard, and a counterbalance, you are not required to have a diver right at the bottom.
