Rebreather World - View Single Post - World Record UW Walking Attempt on Right NOW

What an event! The walkers and also the support team are still a bit sore and VERY tired, but we all had a ball, nevertheless.
As the only Rebreather diver during the event, I was doing up to 2.5h stints under water, which proved to be quite a challenge in 2.5m of water (at low tide). So I could practise my buoyancy skills on the YBOD, as well as emergency drills, while waiting for the walkers to come to my end of the track.
If you would like to donate funds to the NSW rescue helicopter, you can still do so via the event website: http://20000steps.diveoz.com.au
