07-09-2008

Reports have just been received from Sharm El Sheik, that Dave Mullins has set a new National Record for Static Apnea during the Freediving Team World Championships.Dave’s has  extended out the previous National Record held by Guy Brew from 8:05 to 8:11.

Ant Williams, speaking from Egypt described the dive  ”At 7mins 45secs I was shouting at Will to encourage Dave to come up as he was really doing some work. But a bit of a finger wag from Dave let us know he was ok to keep pushing the time out.”  The closest result to Dave’s static from the 1st day of static competition was 7:35.

The team have suffered some set backs during the constant weight competition, and are currently in 5th place on the leader board however this latest success has put the team in high spirits.  Ant Williams and William Trubridge are due to start their Static Apnea attempts shortly after 8pm local time tomorrow ( 8th September)
