A New Zealand man has failed in his attempt to break the world record freedive challenge. William Trubridge, world champion and double world record-holding freediver, is the world's best free immersion diver, and also holds the record for the "constant weight without fins" discipline. The 34-year-old attempted to dive 102m into a cavern off the Bahamas this morning. Trubridge looked comfortable as he attempted the 102m dive today, reaching the marker at two minutes, but shortly before the surface, the diver grabbed a safety line and was helped to top by two divers.
