Shark Freediving

11:35

It’s already the last day of the month again, so it’s time for our monthly look back at the freediving scene. What was the most important freediving news of the month June 2009?

June 8 – Stephane Mifsud 11:35 Static!

Stephane crushes the current static world record with his amazing 11:35 static. The record raises many questions by other freedivers and conspiracies start flying around. All in all, nothing is proven in the end only that Stephane did 11:35, so congrats to him!

June 26 – Herbert Nitsch 107 Meter Skandalopetra

Herbert takes a 10 kilo rock and let himself drop down to 107 meters depth in only his swimming trunks! His words afterwards down there: it’s cold here! Amazing dive and amazing athlete.

51.100

June 27 – Sandi Bitenc 51,1 kilometers Underwater in 24 hours!

Sandi swims 51,1 kilometers underwater in 24 hours. Shark Freediving reports live from this event. After witnessing this live I think this record has a place in the list of most impressive records ever.
