New record for unassisted freediving: 100m!



Yesterday the Kiwi William Trubridge dove to 100m (328ft) unassisted (without weights or fins) at the Dean's Blue Hole in The Bahamas. It took him 4min 10s to complete the round trip. Incredible! Well done! Note the video above is of his previous record dive at the same location.

Action at the Center of Our Galaxy


If the image above doesn't animate for you go to the source website here. I think its pretty amazing that we can track the motion of stars around the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
