FIM - my first depth WORLD RECORD - 127m 🌎 . After nearly 14 years my dream came true. I’ve set my first absolute depth world record!🥇 . It was a long journey. I achieved 81m in my first year of deep freediving, Dahab 2009, 100m in Sharm El Sheikh back in 2010, a year later 106m and silver medal at World Championships in Kalamata, then doing 114m in Vertical Blue 2014. . That was around the time when I finished my studies, which means no more 3 months of holidays spent diving deep, I had much less time due to regular work but in 2019 I became free from 9-5 work and could focus on depth again. . Last couple of years allowed me to progress to 127m. For me it was always a game of equalization in FIM. You can watch the video on my YT channel linked in a BIO. The dive felt comfortable oxygen wise, equalization on that particular dive was spot on and maybe enough for 2-3m more. . During all those years I was relentlessly working in the pool and apnea capacity is not my problem in that discipline. My biggest struggle is equalization and I’m slowly improving in that but sometimes I still feel like a beginner in it and I don’t have a freedom which would allow me to be 100% confident I can always reach desired depth. . I remember when in 2014 I set my first pool world record. I gained confidence but still felt like a beginner, it took me 5-8 years more to master dynamic disciplines and be fully confident in them. . Currently if I would have to compare, I feel my depth journey is at 2014’s pool level. Still so much to learn and explore. Thank you @_kocia_mama_ 😘, my family, friends for being with me all this time! Shout out to the whole @vertical_blue team for making it possible! .
