Quake3World

Pretty harrowing photo of the guy after he went down to 72 meters, surfaced, then blacked-out, never to regain consciousness. Not a face you'd forget quickly.

Two months ago, as Mevoli won a silver medal at the world championships in Greece, he was temporarily frustrated with his performance and mental state. In a blog on http://www.usfreediving.org, he told of wandering the city streets after a constant-weight dive to 75 metres, occasionally spitting blood on the pavement. He wondered why he was so consumed by reaching tangible depths.

“Numbers infected my head like a virus and the need to achieve became an obsession. Obsessions can kill,” he wrote.

Good article about him and the sport here: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/world/o ... 2xtxj.html

Have to really admire him. I scuba but I've often thought about free-diving because of the freedom it gives you. You can actually go deeper more easily and more often than with gear because you aren't breathing once you're under and thus don't have to worry about decompression sickness.

Looks exactly like shell shock.

A person died doing something dangerous.

Film at 11.

The fuck do you know about shell shock ?

Guy looks insane though, which I guess you would have to be.

After diving down to 68 metres, he paused and reached 72 metres before turning back.

Sucks :/

He's actually the first person ever to have died in the sport of freediving

Just like you can tell what a Golf / Rabbit looks like ?

Yeah it's exactly like that. Despite your attempt at sarcastic insinuations you've actually hit the nail on the head.

Maybe you meant to say "Like how shitty my analogies are?"

It's not a Golf / Rabbit or shell shock. It's a GTI

I never said it was anything else.

No such thing as a VW GTI, hence you can't tell the difference even in fantasy world.

I need a hammer and a nail to get through that skull of yours

Dude listen... I'm seriously done arguing with you because you're too fucking dense ok? I used to think you were cool, now I think you're kindof a complete twat that has no original thought. Every thread I post in dissolves into this drivel every fucking time and I'd say 90% of the time your posts don't even make any logical sense. I don't know if it's a local linguistic issue or if you're truly that stupid but please. If you feel so inclined to moan about how there's no VW GTI please do so in it's own thread or just PM me. I'm not lawl or scared or anyone else that's looking to discuss the same fucking topic in every fucking thread that's created.

You could just say you don't own one and we can all move on instead of crying ?, I can see why you'd have difficulty understanding most things if it took you 2 replies to work out my GTI reference n all

Yeah ok, I don't own a GTI. There ya got me.

Now lets see how long you can stop yourself from bringing up the same shit replies to every thread I post in.

No, I really don't. The guy was doing something that he knew would eventually kill him if he kept pushing the limits...

No, he isn't.

246 feet, not a record, meh

feedback wrote:He's actually the first person ever to have died in the sport of freediving

Yay good for him.

No, he isn't.

Maybe in a sanctioned event?

lol poor people who get caught out lying...

Thanks for making my point lawl.

Moving on isn't as easy as it sounds

It won't matter, that's my whole point.

yea that may be the case. I was thinking of Audrey Mestre, who died right around the time I was getting into freediving.
