Andaman Freediving Challenge 2012.
« on: January 26, 2012, 11:47:50 AM »

A total of 18 participants from Asia and Europe will be competing, also 4 Malaysians will be competing in this competition.
The event will be held in Koh Lanta on 9th February - 12th February 2012.

I expect all the current Malaysian records to be broken in this event.

The day ended with 2 new national records being set. The Malaysian men's and Austrian Women's record for Free Immersion were rewritten today. The Malaysian men's FIM records stands at 40m and the Austrian Women's FIM record stands at 38m
Congratulations to Azam from Malaysia and Karin from Austria

It was unfortunate that the Malaysian women's record could not be made official because of a Yellow card. Official records can only be made from White cards. But it was a brave attempt from Vivian Chan and the unofficial Malaysian Women's FIM records is at 15m

Official result for day 1 is available at the following link

I expect more records will be broken tomorrow!

Another record breaking day today!
4 new Malaysian records were set today.
took both the CWT and CNF records today.
CNF - 12m
CWT - 15m

Azam Hamid is now the deepest man in Malaysia with his new CWT record
CWT - 41m

I broke Azam's grip on the men's record with the CNF event.
CNF - 30m
Tomorrow will be the static event, and again I expect the records will be broken.
