Hello Divers!

It's that time of the year again - the winter champs are back! This year we will be holding the comp over Queens Birthday Weekend, on the 1st & 2nd of June. As per usual, the competition will have three sessions over two days, with both a competition and recreational grade to cater for everyone. The entry cost is a mere $40 and covers everything.

Hello Divers!

The Breathtakers Freediving Club have organised a World Record-eligible competition over the first weekend in November to give Kathryn Nevatt and Dave Mullins a chance at setting world records in their back yard. Kathryn and others have worked extremely hard to get sponsorship for all of this, resulting in a ridiculously low entry cost of only $15 for as many sessions as you want to do!

Another great day of white cards and big dives today, with Kathryn starting everyone off with a 7:22 static to really push the level. Julia stepped up with a huge PB of 3:49 in her first competition to take the prize for the women's recreation grade, while Adam pushed himself to a 106m DYN to improve on his dive the previous day.

The last day is here and it's a chance for everyone to push for some big dives.

Good luck to everyone!

What a fantastic day! All white cards, several PBs and an unofficial world record for Kathryn Nevatt. You can't get much better!

Performances of note were Kathryn's massive 163m DNF, Dave's 200m DNF (that looked far too easy) and new PBs for Odette and Julia in the recreational grade. Nice dives, everyone!

The start list for the first day is up, with two big no fins nominations from experienced divers and several divers competing for the first time. It should be an exciting day!

Hello Divers!

It's time once more for the Wellington Winter Champs, this year also the New Zealand Indoor Nationals! Like last year, we will be running it in three sessions and at absolutely minimal cost, so please support us by entering!

Congrats to all those who made it to the comp in the weekend and thanks to the helpers! Especially, cheers to Guy and John for judging, Rich for safety duties, Paul for sorting all the airforce stuff and Kathryn for organising the event itself!

Apnea.cz has released it's annual World Absolute Freediver Award, which celebrates the athletes that accrue the most points across all the competition disciplines for the year. Not only did Will back up his win from the previous year, but managed to set the highest total in AIDA history.
