For anyone interested in free diving and getting in shape:
Recent records in two types of free-diving, set in Grand Cayman on March 23rd:
Mandy-Rae Cruickshank for women's constant ballast (no variable weight - eg no ditching a weight at the bottom) ....78 metres (256 ft).
Martin Stepanek for free immersion (no variable weight OR fins eg pulled down the line hand over hand)....102 metres
(335 ft).

Mandy works at PADI Canada. She says they had a great time in spite of the rough weather.
A great way to get in shape for those doing the Fitness Challenge, but done under supervision in the pool due to blackout. You know you are losing weight when you don't need someone to hold you down while you swim u/w in the shallow end of the pool.
