    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

New World Free Fall (diving) Record

Have always liked diving and still manage a few dives each year... but love to read about this... I know they often dive with a ship anchor and come up in a hot air balloon ... but still 116 meters ... FOOK no double FOOK that is deep on on breath I would not go that far with twin tanks...

Kiwi freediver William Trubridge plunged to a depth of 116 metres in the ocean, holding his breath for more than four minutes and battling narcosis to set the world record for diving without fins.

The 29-year-old spent four minutes and nine seconds under the water without the aid of oxygen, using a form of breaststroke to propel himself down and to claim the record at the Vertical Blue competition in the Bahamas at the weekend.

"It was hard to get the tag from the bottom as I struggled with some narcosis," Trubridge told The New Zealand Herald.

"But it's great to have the free immersion record again."

Divers can suffer from nitrogen narcosis, which produces a state similar to drunkenness.

It was Trubridge's 10th world record, and puts him in first place for the competition to find the world's best all-round freediver.

Last week he set a record in the "constant weight" division - becoming the first person to dive 92 metres unassisted.

The extreme sporting event will wrap up tomorrow.
