Cayman-born Tanya Streeter has taken her ninth world record in the sport of
freediving. This time she reached a depth of 400feet (122 Metres) in the
"variable ballast" category, descending on a sled and then surfacing using
fins only. The following day she set a new record of diving 115 feet (35
metres) without fins in a new category of "constant weight without fins".
Tanya currently holds five world records in freediving - diving to depths
with only one breath of air.

If I was at 95' and saw somebody swimming with no tank and no fins, I would
be a little concerned.
