He is Russian, from the russian navy. He will quickly tell you that was a previous life and he is american. Other that that he repeats that he can go to grate and back qucker than you. Even quicker than a scooter he said LOL.

Wow.....what a DB
Here and I would have thought that bouncing off the bottom as his videos showed would slow the guy down

ya gotta love the 3ft long free diving fins though... (not good for cave diving and not good for the cave either when you bang them against the walls, ceiling and floor of the cave.... and stirring up silt).

Nik's a VNG (Very Nice Guy). He loves to tinker with his gear and come up with new ways to arrange tanks and to carry his camera; he likes to go fast underwater & you'll frequently see him zipping along with his monofin, with or without a tank, with or without some new camera contraption... he may be videoing himself or those around him, he may zip by horizontally or vertically. So his diving is to the sound of a different drummer, very different from mine...
Sometimes he loses track of his "wake" a bit, but don't we all, from time to time? And if you ask him to do something for you, he's all over it.Come to Vortoberfest VI - he'll likely be there.

Has anyone mentioned to vortex management what he's doing? Can anyone get him banned?
