NEW WORLD RECORD

On Saturday I bought a new book... 2009 diving almanac. Now in this book are lots of facts and information on diving. One section was about bizare underwater world records.

Now as a magician myself, I noted there was an entry for "deepest card trick". the record was only 19m, how poor . Now we new we could get 20m in Capernwray. So armed with a set of soggy cards I performed a card trick at 20.4m - BREAKING the world record

Of course they had to be PADI cards....

Well done Charley and welcome to the family

Well done Smudge now get yourself registered for the record

The record.....

I want to break it big style....

First will be to go to the recreation dive limit of 40m. Chairs, tables and a magic show... all in the name of publicity.. this is gonna be part of the last dive of 2009 at dotty.

Then I need two volunteers to go to 100m with me - one to video and one to be shown a card trick... I aim to do this around February time.

Hmmsounds like fun

Thanks for a greatt weekend

nope - no vid that i've seen
someone looking like you disturbed the viz so nobody could see anything

hang on have you changed the rules again ... 100 meters would we be covered by our insurances [img]https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

££££ sales pitch for Trimix Ticket

"even I need to do a few courses and build up to it for this one"

hence the 40m dive to start

Sounds fun there's a nice little hut in Dorry at about 40-44 if its a sunny day perfect for sitting in front of make some good pictures for certain. You can look out the window at the back down into the quarry. Gets a bit dark if the sun goes in though

I can do the 40m but not interested in 100m. I know how I reached this age and the main reason is I'm a coward

Long live cowards

I remember the last time a potential record came into the discussion - sat in a cafe in Hope just prior to doing P8, if I remember correctly.

Does this means we are about to do P8 again

Well Tink I'm gonna do the 100m dive and beyond well one day anyway thats something I want to do when funds allow until then I'll just have to stick to the usual 40m, er and a little more Looking to do some proper wreck diving which is uaually a little deeper and a whole lot more involved

I may be the shape of a diving bell, but unfortunately I do not have quite the same properties. I will do the 40m, as I need it anyway, so you'll give me the deep speciality.

The 100m however will only happen if I get my bouyancy completely wrong and just keep going down. I'm not ready for this as you are well aware.....

Oh i do like the sound of Tri-mix, tad le da

Looks like your drumming up business Mr Squiz But having been to Leeds today and chatting to a guy over there my appitite has been wet once again and now my head hurts with all the extra stuff I need to do to pursue this dark place so now the maths bit and cost is sinking in who what and where?

Well about the World Record. Which is at 40m which i cant do so can i be at the suface and help because i want to show off to my friends that mine in the Guiness world record book






Dont forget sam aswell !!!!
