QUOTE (Divernet)
The women's constant ballast freediving world record has been broken off Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands.

Mandy-Rae Cruickshank of Canada broke the record during the second PFI Cayman Competition, reaching a depth of 88m in 2 minutes and 48 seconds.

Mandy-Rae, 32, has been freediving competitively since 2000

The premiere performance was that of Mandy-Rae Cruickshank of Canada who on day two of the competition broke the women's world record in constant ballast (kicking down to depth and back with weights under her own power) with a depth of 88m / 289ft on one breath of air, the equivalent of a 29 story building in a time of 2 minutes 48 seconds.  This record was held previously by Natalia Molchanova of Russia at 86m / 282ft.  Mandy-Rae now adds a seventh world record to her trophy mantle.....
