Just received an email from William Trubridge announcing the Vertical Blue competition of this year. And wow, it will be very special!
The competition takes place from April 17 to 27 and will have a very special competition format. All three disciplines will take place during this comp and the special thing is that Martin Stepanek, Herbert Nitsch and William Trubridge will compete against each other during this event!
This already impressive field will be completed by divers like Guillaume Nery, Ryuzo Shinomiya, Dave Mullins, Walter Steyn, William Winram and Robert King. All in all it looks like it’s going to be the deepest competition of the year!
More information about the event and the special rules on William Trubridge his website.

With a dive to 123 meters in the discipline constant weight, Herbert Nitsch reclaims the world record in this discipline. With a dive time of 4:00 minutes and a surface protocol done within 6.5 seconds it seems there is more to come!

Herbert Nitsch and William Trubridge decided that the world championships were not enough to cover their need for records. They both announced several freediving record attempts for the week after the world championships at the same location, Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas.
From December 6 till 12 Herbert Nitsch announced record attempts in Free Immersion, Constant weight with and without fins and Variable Weight (currently at 140 meters by Carlos Coste).
In that same week William Trubridge announced Constant without fins, Free Immersion and Variable Weight as well.
I’m curious what is coming. Fact is that whatever record will be broken during the world championships, it won’t hold long with these two amazing freedivers attempting some deep divers in the week after!

In Herbert Nitsch his quest to reach 1000 feet with a no limits dive, they are making a documentary about his training and preparation. While his attempt to reach 1000 feet is somewhere in October 2010, there is already a preview available from this 3d documentary with the catchy title ‘Beyond Limits’. Enjoy!
