Breaking News Another World Record For Dave Mullins
Wellington Freediver Dave Mullins has yet again, put his name next to another Freediving World Record in an amazing dive of 213m in front of International judges.
Mullins record dive involved him swimming underwater on a single breath of air a total of 8 and a half times of the 25m pool using a modified breaststroke style stroke and kick.
Mullins, who recounts the dive as “slow and controlled” completed the dive in 4:03 seconds.“The dive was reasonably comfortable, and despite having the urge to breath from around the 50m mark, which did ease off around 125m, the dive was very controlled.
While knowing that I could have pushed the distance out another 10m I made the decision to come up to ensure my limits were not pushed too far, I wasn’t aware at that stage that I was right on the World Record” said a jubilant Mullins who now has a total of 3 World Records to his name.
Grant Graves, International A Grade Judge, who has been brought over to New Zealand for the Wellington Winter Champs to officiate the world record dives commented on the dive today by Mullins “another amazing performance from Dave, and I am more than certain that there is plenty more to come”
