New Finnish record in Constant Weight!

31.07.2008

The bad new is that Eero flew back to Finland this morning. Not too bad for him, though: the man is now the first Finnish freediver (as far as we know) to hold three national records at once (dynamic with fins already before this trip, free immersion and no limits). So it was a succesful trip for him, and his work was crucial for our project!

The project continued succesfully, as in the morning I broke the Finnish record in Constant weight with fins with an 87 meter dive. Jyri did a 59 meter constant weight without fins dive. He only needs two more meters to break the current record of 60 meters. So we now need just one more record to reach the diving objectives of the project.

For once we had several cameras and camera operators with us during the record attempt. Today several hours were used on editing the video below, so the text will be quite short. In condensed form: the dive went well and I feel good!
