That was awesome! Unbelievable, no fins. That is insane. Nice sound track as well.

That defies all logic!! Unf*ckingbelievable!!

YOU AINT LYIN!!!!!!!!!!!

If you go to the website and look at the hole he dove in. Its right off shore and its an amazingly beautiful place!

WOW that is unreal!

oto_gc · 07-01-2007, 10:05 AM

amazing, awesome soundtrack as well, he must like Gladiator and DJ Tiesto!

an amazing achievement, very cool. he freedove the arch (a tunnel from the blue hole out to the reef that's 60m deep and 30m long) with no fins a few months ago, that is almost more impressive.

on a related note... martin stepanek announced that he's going for 83m in constant no fins this august, as well as a new record in constant weight at 111m

Amazing, and he looks young, anyone know how old he is? Also is he using any weight at all?

I am thinking that he should be sponsored but who will sponsor him if he doesn't use any equipment.

That....was unreal. I couldn't even imagine. Thanks for sharing that link.

BreathlessSight · 07-01-2007, 06:52 PM

he teaches freediving classes so I think that bring in enough money. He might use wieght, I will have to look at his last attempts.
When Stepanek has a clip of it all plz share it.

Actually the most amazing part of the whole thing is he is wearing a mask and not a water filled one. Now how the heck does he equalize hands free?

PargoAmargo · 07-01-2007, 07:38 PM

I heard that some guys can equalize hands free. I tried many times but can't do it. I think it's genetic but in case it isn't that's one thing I'd love to learn how to do.

Terry Maas makes a custom mask with protrusions for the nostrils that allow him to do the same thing. Making a mask like that has been on my list of things to do for 6 years.

ApneaSpearo · 07-01-2007, 08:07 PM

I don't know why but I have always been able to equalize hands-free, I think that lots of people can do it and I'm sure that at least one of my dive buddies uses it regularly.

I don't know if it's genetic or a learned thing but here's a good thread from deeperblue.net that tries to explain how it's done:

I've been wanting to try a nose clip under the mask.
