Freediving: Trubridge smashes another record

Freediving champion William Trubridge has smashed another record, the second in two days.

Following celebrations of a new world record yesterday, 16-time world record holding freediver and current freediving world champion, Trubridge decided to take it two metres deeper achieving his 17th world record with a free immersion dive of 124m late last night (where he uses a rope to assist with descent and ascent).

These back-to-back successful attempts were achieved at Deans Blue Hole in the Bahamas during the Vertical Blue event.

This is a different discipline to the one Trubridge will be embarking on in July where he will attempt the ultimate sequel to a dive not achieved in 2014. To freedive unassisted to 102m in a single breath, into the deepest blue hole on earth.
