After several weeks of preparation at Buddy Dive Resort and in the Bonairian waters all the effort paid off! Patrick Musimu and Karol Meyer broke the record in the Tandem No Limit freediving discipline by diving without air to 121 meters (399 feet)!

“To all those who participated, followed, supported the BUDDY DIVE Freediving Event..., 1st challenge of the Triple Quest project, I have only 1 thing to say... WE DID IT! - 121m/399ft. More info later, I first need to go and eat” (Patrick Musimu)

This message was posted by Patrick on facebook right after he broke the record together with Karol right in front of Buddy’s house reef!

“The list of partners, friends and participants to thank is going to be long. I still have difficulty to realize how a simple dream can turn into such a project and end up taking such proportions. I will take the following days to debrief this tandem adventure and will for sure come back to you to share the trains ...of thoughts, reflections, ups and downs and challenges encountered while pursuing my first quest.

My thoughts go to Pipin Ferreras and his beloved Audrey Mestre. I would like to emphasize that we didn't beat anyone nor any number. Instead I have tried to highlight how difficult their path has been upon setting their record in 2001. And believe me it has been very challenging...Great respect.” (Patrick Musimu)

We would like to congratulate Patrick and Karol and thank them very much for making Buddy Dive Freediving Bonaire 2010 a great success!

Luckily the event is not over yet. Friday the official press meeting will take place followed by a commemoration party at our resort, and this Sunday a 3-day clinic will start in which Karol shares her passion for freediving with others. Last but not least, this Sunday at 18.15pm the last presentation will take place at The Poolbar.
