Day 1 of the Vertical Blue Competition and a new record!

in Freediving - Mateusz Malina
Day 1 of the Vertical Blue Competition and a new record!

Yesterday was the first day of the Vertical Blue 2014 Competition that is being held in one of the best freediving locations in the world (my personal #2 spot in the world) - the Dean's Blue Hole, Long Island.

My first announced depth was 113m, which was also a Polish National Record attempt and I accomplished this goal! The official gauge actually measured 114,5m! 

I had the pleasure of working with FIM champ Miguel Lozano, who coached me during this dive, so obviously it was a great dive!

Today will be my second attempt with announced depth 118m! Let's go!
