Review of revision 1006404 [Passed][edit]


Incorrect Datas[edit]

"This record was for "Constant Weight Apnea with fins", where the diver cannot drop any weights during the dive, and follows a guide line, but cannot touch it. They may use fins to descend, but on the ascent they pull themselves up with the rope. Divers retrieve a velcro tag from a metal plate placed at a certain depth. The record was previously held by Austrian Herbert Nitsch, who reached a depth of 92m (301ft) on 19 April 2010."

It was in the discipline "Constant Weight Without Fins (CNF)" from the depth, and the person wasn't Herbert Nitsch it was William Trubridge.

Discipline: Constant Weight (CWT)
Recordholder: Herbert Nitsch
Depth: -124 m
Date: April 22, 2010

"Herbert Nitsch that recently took the prestigious Constant Weight record (monofin down and up) from Czech Martin Stepanek, added another meter to his own record, putting it to a depth of 124 meters."
