Two italians claim they dove to 320 meters, and are aiming to reach 400 meters, see the link to their web site for more...

This would have been a yoyo dive like Bennet's nothing like the cenote cave dive performed by Exley and Bowden.

Is there an English translation?

I see now that "theoretically" there is no limit.

Well that's not quite factual. As soon as the tank pressure is too low to overcome ambient pressure then you're in the soup. Also look up HPNS. The howling kamikazes from that website you quoted will be very luck to survive their dive, IMHO.

Two british divers will be doing the world record open circuit trimix attempt in august this year in Sharm, 333 meters they aim to hit, they have been preparing for years, one of them already holds the red sea depth record, and one holds the deep air record
crazy people

Crazy is not the word I would use.
Crazy implies a mental illness.
Stupidity is learned.

"Furthermore, when used exclusively with oxygen, and at great depth, hydrogen has narcotic effects similar to LSD. Following deep diving trials, this mixture has been implicated in long-term phychological changes in saturation divers."

As an ex sat tech I have to wonder how you would measure "long-term phychological changes" in a typical sat diver - I've seen some things........

Yah, I was chuckling over that one myself; some of those buggers work better when they're narced.
