New World Free Dive Record Set

[Chad Carney]

Press release by Kirk Krack

"April 3rd saw Martin resetting his own Free Immersion (arm-pulling down and up a weighted rope, without fins) World Record of 102m / 335ft by 4 meters, to 106m / 348ft, with a dive time of 3 minutes 52 seconds (3:52). His final success came on April 5th, returning to the Constant Ballast discipline and achieving a new World Record depth of 108m / 354ft, dive time 3 minutes 50 seconds (3:50). A subsequent Constant Ballast attempt on April 7th, this time to a target of 110m / 361ft, ended in failure when Martin’s mask failed just below the 100m / 328ft mark and he was forced to abort the dive."

Actually, Martin is Eastern European, don't know which country.....
The www.performancefreediving.com team is the one that set the records, without a sled...

He is an amazing guy. I learned a lot from their program and would recommend it to anyone who is serious about freediving safely and well...
