WATCH THE WORLDS MOST AMAZING FREEDIVERS COMPETE TO WIN AT SUUNTO VERTICAL BLUE

SuuntoDive — 1 мая 2017

Did you know that the deepest dive (self-propelled) ever achieved on breath-hold is equivalent to almost 420 feet? Yes, believe it or not Alexey Molchanov of Russia successfully completed a constant weight dive (CWT) to 128m back in 2013! Alexey is just one of nearly 40 international athletes who will be competing head-to-head alongside Suunto ambassador and dual world record holder William Trubridge of New Zealand.

In its 10th edition this year, the Vertical Blue competition is comprised of three depth disciplines: Constant Weight, Constant No-Fins and Free Immersion (CWT, CNF, FIM respectively). #VB2017 is an AIDA sanctioned event which offers competitors six official dives to challenge themselves to obtain the coveted title of “Champion” at the most elite freediving competition in the world.

William’s rival in free immersion, Miguel Lozano of Spain, will also be on hand to conquer new territory, as well as diving legends Davide Carrera & Homar Leuci of Italy. Heating things up for the ladies are world record holder Sayuri Kinoshita of Japan and first-time attendee (but renowned Italian mistress of the deep) Alessia Zecchini.
