Worlds best eh?
CNN)The world's best freediver is feared dead after going missing during a recreational dive off the coast of Spain.
Natalia Molchanova, the most decorated freediver in the world with 41 world records and 23 world champion titles, was diving in the Balearic Sea, near to the Spanish island of Formentera on Sunday when she failed to surface.
Freediving is a form of underwater diving in which divers hold their breath instead of using a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear.

Feared dead? Either she came up or she didn't.

In a remarkable turn of events she has obliterated the previous world record for holding her breath reaching the impossible mark of 3 years 7 months 2 days 6 hours 43 minutes and 17.3 seconds

I feel like for these people and base jumpers, its just a matter of time until a TINY mistake ends your career in a big way.

What an idiot.

If you are underwater with tanks and hit an unexpected underwater current, you are in good shape because you have a reserve of air. Not so much if you don't have a tank on.

I would say so...
I could make a pretty strong argument that everyone whom hasn't died doing it would be better...

Maybe she's still holding her breath.

Nope. I do free diving when doing some spear fishing. But no way in hell would I ever try to push the limits.
If I want to go deeper or longer, then I have a scuba certification and gear for that. I go down to 100+ ft with no worries with equipment.

Feared dead? What's the alternative? She turned into a mermaid?

I watched something in these people before. But they had lines that the divers clipped to. I can't remember, but for whatever reason, females make better free divers.
