187' - without a helmet... oops, wrong thread.
There is a sinkhole off the panhandle of Florida. It sometimes has a weak freshwater flow. I was told about it when I was 16 and was facinated by the stories. It burned heavy on my mind and one day I decided to see it. I hired an old sea captain who passed on many years ago to take me there. It was deep and fascinating and to this day I think my most exciting dive. It was 235 feet and I was inside the sinkhole and could look back up and see the margins of the rim with the sun shining down into the abyss like laser rays.
Disclaimer, I was much younger, I was in superb physical condition running marathons for breakfast and I was an experienced diver and I had the equipment and a plan--it was not a lark. It was before the time of mixed gases available to regular folks. It was a risk I could not and would not take now or even consider doing twice and should not have done it once. There were no computers, no isolated manifolds and it was dangerous. There were no GPS, just Loran and I remember seeing the void in the bottom returns as the captain exclaimed we have arrived. I was solo. Fish circled the sinkhole from surface to bottom--wow. The regulator I used was the all metal original Tekna T2100. It was fall of 79. That is my story.

Since when did depth become a "personal best" or a competition?
Freediving is all about personal bests and competition from within
