Today at the 3rd Meditteranea Freediving World Cup, Natalia Molchanova from Russia broke the 7 year old freediving record in the discipline variable weight. She did this by diving to 125 meters depth, while holding her breath and holding onto a weighted sled that went down a line. At 125 meters she went back up again on her own power.
It took her 3:38 minutes to complete the dive. 1:29 minutes to get to 125 meters, which is 1,42 meters per second and 2:09 minutes to get back to the surface (0,98 meters per second). Amazing dive and congrats to Natalia!
The old record was in hands of Tanya Streeter, set on July 19th 2003 with a depth of 122 meters.
