Freediving (going to depth without any supplemental air) is a mesmerizing, and dangerous, sport. And last week an outfit known as the Performance Freediving Team went to the Cayman Islands to do some damage. And they did, with a guy named Martin Stepanek and woman named Mandy-Rae Cruickshank (no wonder she wanted to disappear under water)set new records by swimming without fins down to 80 meters and 50 meters respectively. Other records were set, but I can’t be bothered to sort out all the subcategories, so if you are into freediving read the official press release here. Even if you are not a freediving freak, though, make sure you check out this very cool trailer for the Performance Freediving Team DVD. It looks as if these guys know how to have fun…
“No, I’m not that transgender mermaid freak Tim wrote about last month. I’m Mandy-Rae, freediving phenomenon…”
