I regularly dive beyond 100m on air for up to 10-minute bottom
times, and my descent rate is 50m per minute. I have just
returned from the USA after more training with Hal and travel to
the Philippines in July to attempt to break the world-record air

May I take this opportunity to wish you good luck with your
now independent magazine. I hope you do as you say - feature
various training agencies and keep us informed of what's
happening in the diving world.

DIVER Magazine Editor's reply: The best of luck to you, too,
with your world record attempt - we reckon you'll need it! To
readers, all we can say is don't try this at home!
