Pure O2 gives you an advantage for you static apnea if you start your apnea immediately after breathing pure O2.
After a few minutes you lose all your benefit.
But it is VERY dangerous to try it at home.
There is a thread somewhere in DB.net about this.

Btw, Tom did another O2 record in February. Right now I cannot find the exact time he achieved, but it was over 15 minutes. I believe 15:02.
However, you can see now how such stunts are in fact harming freediving - even d_deftone who is apparently part of the DeeperBlue community since several weeks and saw the stunt, believed that it was regular apnea. People with no experience or profound knowledge are not capable to distinguish between such hyped stunts and the reality. I can imagine that it can lead to more accidents when people try to mimique the attempts. And of course, Tom's own record of 9:58 (or 10:08 in training) looks like nothing for the general public if they saw his 15'+ O2 stunt or heard about it. They often simply do not realize the difference. Same goes for the comming Blaine's stunt, that will be performed under conditions completely different to AIDA competitions (or even the conditions during Tom's training session).
