    @lilaothenn Yeah i agree, but there is a specific competition for sled dives, and its the most famous because of the distances they achieve.

    for the purpose of film making they need to get so many different shots at those depths, from all sorts of angles, that it just wouldn’t practical for them to dive, get 1 or 2 shots, surface, recover, dive again, get 1 or 2 more, surface, etc. Instead by using the sled, the divers can preserve their energy, stay down longer and get more shots done in each dive. But yes you’re right, if they’re using the sled to reach depths they cant do without the sled then it shouldn’t count.

    Jehovah
    The personal name of the only true God. His own self-designation. Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. Jehovah is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, יהוה, which means He Causes to Become. These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH. Mark 1: 14 Now after John was put under arrest Jesus went into Gal´i•lee, preaching the good news of God

    Il Maestro Pelizzari il ma grande di todos,es sorprendente questo hombre,y ma che non usa zavorra per realizzare le sue immersioni.un esempio a seguir,tanto come apneista,y come compagno di gruppo egli quale non ebbe il Pipin Fererras,que pena che già Lei ritiro ed ora si dedica a dare cursos,mi sonno seria prendere un corso col serio la cosa massima

    diving with sled is wrong freediving should be free from any sort of assistance.

    Nn credo a quello che scrivi ! ! ! So cn certezza che nn ha affatto bisogno di bombole xkè può contare sulla sua capacità polmonare circa 8 litri di aria a disposizione.
    un aspetto di 3 minuti lo fa con naturalezza, e le prime contrazioni gli arrivano sui sei (6) minuti, in sei minuti se ne fanno di cose!!!! ciao

    Man u are not from this world! I admire u so much! I’m a diver but not even close as u are! Greetings from Croatia! U are welcome there in any time!

    Ocean Men is a visually stunning film about freediving. I saw it in IMAX several times and everyone I showed it to loved it and learned a lot. Movies are made to make money. This one was never going to make much given the audience it’s meant for. But yes, it is a promotion, a really good promotion for freediving.

  23. oceanbeing says:

    It’s personal preference. Some like monofins, some like the sled. I think reaching the ultimate depth is a worthy goal. After all, people used to think you would be crushed to death below 100m. I can tell you, new depth can be a terrifying experience.

    I actually tried variable weight (not a big fan) and can tell you I have the utmost respect for those who are able and willing to plunge into the abyss in that manner. I believe you should try it before voicing such short-sighted opinions.

  24. oceanbeing says:

    Ocean Men is an inspiration for how I want to feel in the water. Umberto is beautiful to watch. Rare to see anyone move with such grace and economy.

    Nitsch’s records are impressive, but I don’t enjoy watching him. I hear from people that Trubridge is a great guy. His free immersion stuff looks phenomenal. But I don’t see how that takes a way from Umberto or Pipin. Even the early records of Mayol are still significant decades later.

  25. oceanbeing says:

    I believe your comments are short-sighted and fail to reflect the sense of community and shared accomplishment within this sport. There is no sense of brotherhood in your words, brother.
