Merry Christmas

The Toronto Santa’s would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We will be starting the season again on Monday Night Januar 9th 2012.

It was an early rise for the Freediving National Championships organizers, crew and athlete this morning as they appeared in today’s Breakfast Television show with Sangita Patell and the LiveEye crew at the Etobicoke Olympium Pool. Under the watchful eye of Freedive Toronto President and AIDA Instructor Doug Sitter, Sangita faced her long-standing fear of water and attempted a breath-hold performance called static apnea, which is a discipline of freediving done on one breath of air, face down in the water without the exertion of movement. This discipline is measure of time spent on a breath-hold (also called sportive apnea). For a first timer, Sangita did really well in her attempt, reaching a personal best of 56 seconds.

What an amazing day for diving in Lake Ontario! The deepest diver went down 90 m (300 feet) below the surface.

Nationals – Deep Water Camera

UK-Germany, one of our sponsors, created a prototype housing for our GoPro Hero camera so we can have HD images from our deepest divers. The housing is designed to be able to film down under 100 m of water.

They have named it UK-PRO

Very cool design.

Thank you UK-GERMANY for adding that little extra touch for the Canadian National Freedive Competition!
