Martin Stepanek 110 Free Immersion

May 23, 2009 in Martin Stepanek, World Record by Jorg Jansen

Martin Stepanek

Just fresh in! Martin Stepanek did a 110 meter Free Immersion an hour ago! With this dive he break the current world record of 109 meters done by Herbert Nitsch. It’s sure he’s in amazing form!

Dive time of this amazing world record is 3:56 minutes. What is even more amazing that he was amazingly clear, smiling at the safety freedivers at 30 meters depth when coming up and finishing the surface protocol is just 4 seconds.

Watch the video below. I wonder what will be next.

Just updated the video with the English version. Tomorrow they take a day rest and probably the day after as well. Then Martin tries to go deeper with constant weight with fins and afterwards maybe some no fins work. Good luck and congratulations!

Congratulation Martin. Well done. You are in astonishing form.

I am amazed by his skills. Do you notice that he has a different duckdive than most freedivers? It looks as if it gives less force but at the same time it requires even less energy I think. I wonder how his training schedule for the past few months looks like…

Jolle, he has indeed amazing skills! First time I saw him in the water was just amazing to watch. I’ll ask about his training schedule when he’s done with the record attempts.
