Wow, many pages and alot of great stuff, and alot of Walter lol
I am Thrilled with the level of discussion both positive and negative, Debate is a wonderful thing for developing relationships, both good and bad
i am posting to defend some false claims.
Is always amusing to see the people who know least about you have the most to say about you.
this post is in good spirit and is intended to inform and help.
Walter, aside from needing some lessons in etiquette,your facts are invented and exaggerated, and you are flat out lying about other details...
Aside from your steadfast resentment for me,I can assume it is basic human psych that to be this obsessed and enraged with a person, you either
a: want to be them?
b: want to F@#$ them?
c: are jealous of something?
Although i am flattered i am not interested in any!
Bob croft did post on my FB wall, this post remains there for all to view if they wish, it has been there the whole time (you can clearly see that / go fo it) thats lie number 1.
The guiness WR as was standing until the video was monitored 3 months later i received the news that because of assistance from my son within the cave the record was not sanctioned (fin was stuck) - so the record did stand /pending albeit for a few months - If you feel strongly write to all the media and let them know it was...i personally have not mentioned the word guiness in any media from there onwards....number 2.
You can watch here / scene where my son frees my fin in the cave - this cave is 127 mtrs long and was measured at 143 mtrs when the official rope travelled through and down the Chimney section which drops 16 mrs in depth to 26 mtrs

The Static Record of 7.27 min a few years back is standing as a previous AUS NR and was completed without packing, ..number 3.
The FIM Record of 83 mtrs has succeeded your own record, this too is standing and current, and was completed without packing whilst wearing a mask
...You can watch the video here

fact! Australia's best Freedivers have entered the Odex-treme Competition, by definition WSF states on the page that the best Freedivers in the world are the ones with the biggest smiles on their face!....Why would you want to take that away....number 4.
WSF has 8 Full time Employees and is a seperate company from SSI, thats a FACT...Number 5.
I genuinely can recommend to you Walter or actually any of you who seem very concerned with the packing / performance issues to go to Freedive Dahab and learn the skills from Linda Paganelli on a mouthfill course...Frankly! if you are reverse packing all the way down, its no wonder you need to pack!!!
never say never, there is always learning...i learn something new every day!
Walter, on your issues with lack of media, i recommend you can hire a publicist, as was mentioned on this thread, tell your story to the world, i wish you the best.
