Beyond Limits Herbert Nitsch was given the prestigious title of The Deepest Man on Earth, when he set the current world record for free-diving at an incredible depth of 214 metres in 2007.
 
As one of the spearheads of free-diving today, Herbert intends to push the limits even further by becoming the first breath-hold athlete to break the 300- metre barrier.

Day 18 - at the Freediving World Championships 2009 in the Bahamas

Nothing spectacular today. Just fine-tuning on my timing, equalisation and speed for my standard 100m training dive. It seems that I am very close to my optimum. Therefore I think I will takeĀ  a shot at constant weight without fins tomorrow. I have mixed feelings about it, since I have not done a CNF DiveĀ  once since the last world championship in 2007. This is more or less my last chance for a "taste" of this discipline before the qualifications on the 28th, because I do not want to burn my arms to close to the real dive. I have no clue where to start at - what depth?
