Diver Sets New World Free-Diving Record

I have to admit this is pretty impressive.
The 27-year-old from Hawkes Bay reached an unassisted free-dive depth of 81m, shaving a metre off the previous record set by Czech diver Martin Stepanek in 2005.
Trubridge achieved the feat yesterday in his adopted homeland of the Bahamas. In setting the record, Trubridge retrieved a tag – attached to a descending rope at a depth of 81m – without the assistance of fins, ropes or weight belts.
He had been building up to the unassisted free-dive world record for the past two years, and was ecstatic at having achieved it.
