Karol Meyer Does It Again--New Records Set, Day After Day
Karol has had a busy week here on Bonaire, where she is continuing to break records right and left on each successive attempt. Since her first attempt last Saturday when she dove to 84 meters (about 275 feet), Karol has since made two other attempts, each one breaking her own record.
On her second attempt, Karol hit 87 meters (about 285 feet) and on her third attempt, she hit 93 meters (about 305 feet). With this dive, Karol currently holds the world third place record in the discipline of variable weight freediving.
Karol tells the Bonaire Insider, “I’m certainly opening the door to even greater depths now, but we must wait first wait for the best conditions.” She and her coach, Patrick Musimu, do fear that Hurricane Bill, although far, far away from Bonaire, could alter sea conditions. However, Karol is hoping to do another attempt on Saturday, when she hopes to reach 100 meters (about 328 feet) at Klein Bonaire.
Over the next few days, Karol will be conducting a freediving seminar, along with four days of freediving clinics, at Buddy Dive Resort, the host property for the event. Those interested in participating can contact the resort for more information. To wrap up her time on Bonaire, Karol will do a talk show about Freediving Bonaire on August 26th, 2009 at the Pool Bar at Buddy Dive. (Source: Karol Meyer)
