West Bay, Grand Cayman, BWI - Another day, another World Record for the unstoppable Martin Stepanek. The Czech freediver has reclaimed the Free Immersion title with a 106m dive lasting 3’55”. With two more competition days remaining in the Performance Freediving Sink Faze 2006, Martin’s catch bag is well-stuffed, but by the same token he’s got two more opportunities to push the limits even farther.
How does he do it ? An on-board TV cameraman asked Martin what he’s doing when he goes off by himself before suiting up for a record attempt.
“Well”, replied Martin, “I relax myself right up to the point of falling asleep.” That may help Martin hold his breath for 3'55", as he did on today's dive while pulling himself down and up the height of a 35-story building. The cameraman left with something to think about.
