There is a video of Herbert Nitsch's record dive in Rhodos on the web page, but nothing about the depth. It must have been deep, judging from the time it took and his deco procedure after the dive. How deep was it?
Ed: OK. A quick search on the forum proved fruitful:

Patrick Musimu announced he is going to attempt doing a 150m Skandalopetra dive. Seeing how long the 107m dive of Herbert was, it looks like Patrick would need close to 6 minutes for the 150m. Or do you think that he could descend considerably faster with a bigger stone, and being pulled out at a faster rate too?
I guess counter-ballast or motor driven pulling are not permitted at Skandalopetra, so the ascend speed may be quite a lmiting factor. BTW, do you have some safety backup in place for the case the 'pullers' get too tired, slow, or lazy in the middle? Or that they decide to strike and requesting higher reward?

Ahem, wasn't the deal that you spend quality (translate: non-freediving) time with the missus in Crete and then you freedive when you get to Dahab???
Bahahaha you're going to get killed
Not quite. As far as I remember, last year Herbert did this as a fun dive, and he let go of the rope on the last part of the ascent and even made air bubbles...
EDIT: I found the video http://www.evolutionchannel.tv/ under H. Nitsch, the first one

..... maybe........
Maybe some quality time with missus on a private beach; first some sun beading, snorkelling, and when returning to the beach pre pair the BBQ dinner (maybe with some fresh fish!) serve dinner add a nice bottle of the local wine, olives, bread, and I'm confident you'll have some monofin training exercises afterwards .
.
Kars! i like your thinking!
sounds good particularly the Monofin echnique traing after
always did say that diving with monofin is like sex in water.
hahahahahahahahahahaha

Well, it's not a real secret, sex sells, but you can ask the ladies here, maybe they have some more suggestions for your private beach day?
Oh yeah, this thread is about skandalopetra-games, so practice some decent with a flat rock and no suit + nose clip trying to relax through the thermoclines. Herbert did mentioned those and I know it's challenging to relax while your body is being hit by such cold water shock.

hmmm i reallu am liking the sound and ethos behind this Skandalopetra diving, friend of mine has a stone he made so may have to give it a go.

We have the opportunity to use differents methods to take up the athletes, the traditional, the mechanical, the semi-mechanical e.t.c., dipend from the plan of the diving and we decide on local, during the training!!!! Anyway we have a strong and expirient team for all the games!!!
The games are open to everyone!
The participation to all the events (Athletic, social, culture, scientific e.t.c.) are free of charges!!!
It' s necessary to present only the Medical certification (You can to optained from the our doctors)

Looking at the video more carefully, I see that Herbert did have a nose clip on the SKA record dive. Are there any rules about that? Did the traditional sponge divers have some kind of nose clip?
Has anybody noticed - this thing has 'Olympic Event' written all over it!
Very True Fondueset!
I think the regulations allow a noseclip, but no suit nor mask.
Have they already find out that people with more body fat have an advantage?
It would be a very cool discipline, where a diver with two helpers form a team, going for the greatest depth. The faster the top men can pull the deeper the diver can go. And without suits and masks it looks very good on TV!
Though the Olympic games location could be a difficulty!
