After two days of competition between 19 countries, the Pacific Cup of Freediving is hitting its stride. Standings after the Constant Ballast event is as follows:
Thursday Oct. 31
Day One- Constant Ballast 70m --51m
Although the Constant Ballast practice days had their share of humps and bumps, perfect diving conditions set the scene for day one of competition and, once underway, things went extremely well.
33 competitors dove from the imposed 70m limit to 51m. A testament to the continuing progress of internationally competitive divers, only 5 disqualifications were registered, two of which were protested and won.
Guilliame Nery of France made his 70m dive look easy however a line violation at the plate rendered no points. Sweden's Bill Stromberg also registered a line violation on his 66m dive, however after a protest and review, the attempt was deemed clean and awarded full points the next day.
