yea sexydiver16 but there are sites with good dive stories on the net too. The myscubastory site has the best. They also have dive accident stories and videos; lost buddy stories and shark encounter videos. all of them are true life. Type myscubastory into google and its the first site.

@seese54367 Got your message and link, cheers.

Big difference between requirements of surface-swimming butterfly and freediving with dolphin kick.

If a freediver tried to dolphin kick to 88m down on a single breath using a surface swimmer's kick meant for breathing every stroke or two they would keep the safety divers and medics VERY busy. Setting world records in breath-hold diving is so on the edge that stray *thoughts* can use up too much oxygen. Her kicking is right for the job.

@thirteenfingers whoa. pretty sure I never said anything about her not thinking about it. you can always think about it and still do it wrong. that doesn't mean that she isn't doing something as basic as a dolphin wrong, which that most 12 year old swimmers can do better. even other commenters noticed it. calm down.

@FeryalCritic1 Start off on Google with the terms:

north carolina freediving

First result should be a good start and if it's too far, ask them and see who's closer.

@seese54367 It's amazing how she's become a world record holding freediver without ever thinking about her stroke.

Or perhaps...

...she has.

Crazy thought, I know.

[seese54367]

her dolphin kicks are wrong and inefficient....she is kicking with her legs and not using her whole body.

Where in North Carolina can you learn this? I have been longing to be able to learn how, but could never find a place that teaches it. Anyone know where?

[bubblerings]

Where do I get some of those goggles, shown at 0:27, so I do not have to make them???

[bubblerings]

289 feet, each way, mostly with nearly collapsed lungs... amazing!!!

I can only drop about 70 feet.
