“News coming direct from S?bastien NAGEL, President of AIDA indicates that Umberto Pelizzari, one of the world’s top freedivers and one of the subjects of the IMAX movie “”OceanMen”" has declined AIDA judges to attend his next world record attempt.

It seems the Italian federation of freedivers was upset with the way the AIDA World Championships were held.

We will seek clarification from AIDA itself. Keep you eyes on this site.”
