World's most daring freedive

[A_FF]

Hi

I work for a documentary production based in London, UK.

We’re currently developing a primetime documentary series following extreme athletes achieving human 'firsts' and / or breaking existing records for high-adrenaline sporting feats.

I’m looking for individuals who are pushing the boundaries of human possibility and wondered if anyone on this forum knew of any awe-inspiring, record breaking freedive projects coming up or could recommend any freedivers at the top of their game?

Your input would be really appreciated!

You can email me directly at: alice@firecrackerfilms.com or give me a call on: 0207 349 3405

THANKS

Is Herbert Nitsch still aiming for 1000ft, does anyone know...?

Well, probably the best place to start is the list of freediving world record holders. You can find it here: Apnea mania
Also the past record holders are likely in your target group of people shifting the boundaries, so check also the history of records (they change quite often): Apnea mania

The there are also many others, who shift the boundaries in different way - one of the most important ones who revolutionized modern freediving is probably Sebastian Murat. Then also divers who moved the boundaries out of the official guidance of AIDA - such as Patrick Musimu, or Stephane Mifsud. Or people who manage keeping among the world's or national bests despite their respectable age (i.e. Annabel Briseno, Bill Graham, but also for example the WR holder Natalia Molchanova is not really a youngster). Well, there are many other names coming to the mind, but perhaps it is enough for the starting. BTW, most of the freedivers named above are also members of this forum, but do not really expect they respond to this thread. You may need to contact them actively.

I supose that not, otherwise we would know about it and it would be listed among the records.
