I know how it works!

congratulations to both of you. That's the spirit

Hmmm, and I vote for curling up by the fire with a mug of cocoa, a good book, cheese and marmite on toast and some Hendrix!!

Say no to Man Flu - it's a wipe out
Down with Man Flu!

"On the 8th December, at the Blue Hole in Dahab, Ben performed a Free Immersion dive to 50 metres. This was followed less than an hour later, by a variable weight dive to 72 metres. Finally, on 9th December, Ben descended to 80 metres and back, in the No-limits discipline."

This is sooo cool bennyB - kudos to you and the whole crew that participated

cheers,

Congrats to Mark too!!!!
VWT record arms-only and FIM record with one hand... I wonder how deep you would have gone using the right techniques.... I guess it would have been too easy for you! :-)
Well done BFA team!
Are you ok to be listed on the standard FIM and VWT records pages or are there any discussions with AIDA to create new disciplines for your stunts? :-)

Well done Benny and Mark! I have been sitting over here in freezing Berlin, imagining what the Blue Hole looks like with the lot of you in it - obviously pretty cool! Can't wait to hear all the stories at a Richmond session in January. See you soon!

ben, darling, if i were you i wouldn't go public with this bribing business...you might give the idea that you had to buy your white cards!!
but most important people might think they can buy us cheap, which is not true!! (we only accept expensive gifts!!!)

[BennyB]

Ok, secret's safe

[laura storm]

After many hours of farting about I have finally managed to upload the video of Ben and Marks records in Dahab. Before all the smart arses get started I have mixed in the actual footage of the records with some stuff I filmed during the training. The reason for this is that I can't be at 15 metres, 30 metres, 50+ metres and back up as fast as a freediver. Well I could but then I would be in the pot for a spot of de fizzing. The surface video was filmed by Katerina Smirnova. The video was produced in widescreen which Youtube doesn't support so a few compromises were made converting it. It is in 2 parts so it can be viewed on Youtube. If you want to see it in DVD quality speak to Mark or Ben as they have it on disc.
Warning the files are big for Youtube so, depending on your connection speed, they may stutter a little.
