Shark Freediving

So we asked Herbert to pick a winner from the comments that everybody gave here. Herbert picked Serge to be the winner with the following quote:

“give me more!”

Serge, congratulations with your T-shirt. Send me your email address and you will get the shirt as soon as possible. Of course we want a picture of you wearing the shirt. By the way, Herbert picking this quote sounds pretty promising!

Time for another give-away contest. This time you can win an official team T-shirt from Herbert Nitsch 214 meters project, which makes a pretty unique collector’s item. We asked Herbert to pick 3 words that best described his incredible dive to -214m. What do you think he said?

Leave your answer in the comments before July 1st! Don’t forget to fill in your email address. Closest answer wins, and Herbert himself will handpick the winner. function __RP_Callback_Helper(str, strCallbackEvent, splitSize, func){var event = null;if (strCallbackEvent){event = document.createEvent(\\’Events\\’);event.initEvent(strCallbackEvent, true, true);}if (str && str.length > 0){var splitList = str.split(\\’|\\’);var strCompare = str;if (splitList.length == splitSize)strCompare = splitList[splitSize-1];var pluginList = document.plugins;for (var count = 0; count = sSrc.length){if (strCompare.indexOf(sSrc) != -1){func(str, count, pluginList, splitList);break;}}}}if (strCallbackEvent)document.body.dispatchEvent(event);}function __RP_Coord_Callback(str){var func = function(str, index, pluginList, splitList){pluginList[index].__RP_Coord_Callback = str;pluginList[index].__RP_Coord_Callback_Left = splitList[0];pluginList[index].__RP_Coord_Callback_Top = splitList[1];pluginList[index].__RP_Coord_Callback_Right = splitList[2];pluginList[index].__RP_Coord_Callback_Bottom = splitList[3];};__RP_Callback_Helper(str, \\’rp-js-coord-callback\\’, 5, func);}function __RP_Url_Callback(str){var func = function(str, index, pluginList, splitList){pluginList[index].__RP_Url_Callback = str;pluginList[index].__RP_Url_Callback_Vid = splitList[0];pluginList[index].__RP_Url_Callback_Parent = splitList[1];};__RP_Callback_Helper(str, \\’rp-js-url-callback\\’, 3, func);}function __RP_TotalBytes_Callback(str){var func = function(str, index, pluginList, splitList){pluginList[index].__RP_TotalBytes_Callback = str;pluginList[index].__RP_TotalBytes_Callback_Bytes = splitList[0];};__RP_Callback_Helper(str, null, 2, func);}function __RP_Connection_Callback(str){var func = function(str, index, pluginList, splitList){pluginList[index].__RP_Connection_Callback = str;pluginList[index].__RP_Connection_Callback_Url = splitList[0];};__RP_Callback_Helper(str, null, 2, func);}

So finally we get to know who has won this excellent book! The official prize ceremony for this book was broad casted worldwide this afternoon during a live show. You can watch the show below and see who becomes the winner of the excellent book “One Breath”

So congratulations to Roy Nexus! If you can send me your address from the same email account which you used to post your comment on my site, then I can send you the book asap. Let me know what you think about the book after you have read it!

Oh and sorry about the bad sound quality of the video. It was taped with my Canon Digital Ixus 700 which I normally only use for photo’s. It also acts as a great small underwater video camcorder.

It’s time to give away a nice freediving gift! I’ve got an unread copy with personal autograph of the excellent freediving book “One Breath”, written by Emma Farrell with the help of freediving photographer Frederic Buyle. You can read my previous announcement of this book here. So if you want more info on the book, just visit the sites mentioned on that page. Why give it away? I bought the book online and during its shipment I got a nice present from a friend of mine… You get the picture! And even if the book is very good, leaving one untouched is just to bad. It has to be read as well!

So how can you get the book? Just leave a comment with this post and give your full name and country where you life and tell something nice about this site End of this month I’m going to draw a person who left a message here to win this book. No catch included, you get the book completely free, including shipment to where ever you are! It doesn’t matter if you leave more then one message, you will be included in the lottery only one time.

So just leave a comment below and end of the month I will announce the winner!
