Default New World Record

Martin Stepanek recaptured his constant ballast, no fins free diving record by reaching 83 m (273 ft.) in a bluehole in Egypt.



Other clips and a better resolution version of the above video appear at:

The level of effort and athleticism to be able to actively propel yourself particularly without fins through a roundtrip of almost 550 ft. and down over 9 atmospheres is amazing.

Martin and Paul Kotik run Freediving Instructors and Trainers (FIT) based in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA. They offer an insightful free diving training program at multiple levels. Having studied free diving for many decades I was pleasantly surprised to discover how much more useful information and technique there was to learn in their course recently. The safety content alone is worth going through the course not to mention a probable substantial boost in existing free diving abilities.
