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!

Sunday results and final standings

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.

Sunday Start List

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

Good luck to everyone!

Saturday Results

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!

Start list for Saturday

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!

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!
