Hold your breath...the countdown is on!

In a follow up to the dive that gripped the nation in 2014, at 7.40am Thursday, 21 July 2016, William Trubridge will re-attempt to freedive completely unassisted to 102 meters in a single breath, into the deepest blue hole on earth.
 
Dean’s Blue Hole will be the stage where William attempts an awe-inpsiring and death-defying freedive, of the purest form, with two bare feet and one breath of air; William will descend into the dark salt-water sinkhole. To give fans an idea of the depth, it’s the equivalent of two Tane Mahuta’s, New Zealand’s largest Kauri tree* or a third of the height of Auckland’s Skytower!
 
To share the build up with his fans, on Tuesday 19 July an Ask Me Anything with William will be hosted on Steinlager’s Facebook page! So if you’ve wanted to ask William why he wants to try the dive again, or how he prepares to dive to 102m, what it’s like at the bottom, or how does he hold his breath for so long…here’s your chance!
 
In 2014 William was painstakingly close to the world record 102m freedive, he made it to the marker with what seemed like ease and it was only in the last 10m of his ascent that the hurdle proved insurmountable. William started pulling on the safety rope and was assisted to the surface by safety divers; he’d come so close. After that dive he promised he would do the dive again, this time for his fans!
 
So start thinking of those questions and head to Steinlager’s Facebook page on Tuesday 19^th July at 12pm to ask William anything.
