Unbelievable!!
I pulled this from the db website...

OVer the course of two days, freediver Herbert Nitsch established two new world recrods.
Pending verification, on September 4th, Herbert established a pending world record of 95 meters in the Constant Ballast discipline. The following day, Herbert became the first human being to surpass the 100m barrier in unassisted freediving.
Without the help of weights or lift bags he reached a depth of 100m without even using fins.

The dive was executed under the surveillance of two AIDA International judges. It took the 33-year-old Austrian 4mins and 07secs to set this new world record.
:end
I think that translates to about 328'

Re:Unbelievable!!
He's also planning on trying to break the 100 meter mark in constant ballast, meaning he will swim it all with just his monofin!

Guys like Herbert and Martin are just utterly amazing.
