So far it's been an epic comp! Congrats to you again Will for the 92m milestone and to everyone else for their amazing dives.
I am particularly excited to see Eric get the chance for 100m. We all know he can do it without a neck weight or a suit, I hope it is a successful dive, both on paper and within.
And to William W, I hope the 96m FIM record helped solve the sinus demon once and for all.
Wouldn't it be great, Will T., if you had another record to break owned by someone else? :friday
Keep up the great action. And I wish everyone excellent, safe and memorable dives.

awsome stuff eric goin for the big 100, will eric be diving again without the neckweight pete? Wish him all the best on the 100m. Will Will T attempt to better herbets 124 constant before comp ends?
Thanks go out to ALL the competitors and support crew at what is once again an amazing record breaking meet at the Blue Hole. Just when we think people surely can't go any deeper along come these amazing beings who continue to amaze.
Especially I would like to thank Will Trubridge for being not only an astounding competitor but an amazing organiser and host.

That's just so impressive. His performances in CNF get more and more consistent. I think even Martin Stepanek will have a very hard time catching up with Trubridge now. The question seems to be when - and not if - he will be the first man to reach 100m in CNF. Big congratulations, Will!
And also my compliments to David Mullins for attempting to challenge Nitsch in CW. I think the announcement itself means quite a lot psychologically. It would be very interesting to know how deep he has actually been in training.
But then again, I wonder how many of the announcements were serious. Will's no doubt was. But with Nitsch, I am not so sure. What he said about CNF at the Worlds makes me wonder...

Mine was a genuine attempt, but I'm the first to admit it would have been a stretch even if I had reached the baseplate. Yet again, I had to pull up around the 110m mark. One more attempt tomorrow. If I have to pull up early one more time I plan to have my eardrums removed.
I think that Herbert just planned to do a training dive today.

I'd be quite glad to buy your used eardrums Dave ;-)
But for now I just wish they will let you go all the way through tomorrow.
Good luck to ALL!

Will T has been in the news here in Australia today, but just about everyone has got the story wrong. Channel 7 Sunrise program (morning show) had him on this morning, and Channel 10 have had the news report on their news broadcasts, including a "Play of the Day" on their sport program Sports Tonight. They are saying he has the world record at 116m without any fins on with a time of 4:09, and are showing footage of his 92m dive. Bit garbled but not bad for the media really.
In any case, outstanding performances, and best of luck for the last day to all!!
Cheers,
Ben
