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 7 - at the Freediving World Championships 2009 in the Bahamas

altMy daily routine starts with some breath-hold series, being stil in bed. Meanwhile, William Winram (CAN) arrived, more or less directly from his last trip, freediving with White sharks. Shortly after updating each other what's happening in the world of freediving around the globe, Johan, Rob and I went to the Blue Hole for training.

The sun was out, calm winds - a beautiful day for diving. My target is again 100m and this time my gage indicated 100m. This is my 2nd deepest I have ever been in training, since always stay well clear of my maximum unless it is a competitive dive. It felt great and leaves my mind set very optimistic for the coming days.

Back on the beach, some 20 meters away, we meet the Japanese fim-crew form NHK, who have also arrived this morning. They are one of 4 film-crews who will be following the World Championships.
