Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands — Ladies and Gentlemen Start Your Engines! Performance Freediving International (PFI) has organized six international teams of three freediving athletes per team, six brand new Dive Xtras custom painted scooters, a handsome purse of prize money $$ — in otherwords the Formula 3 Freediving race is on! Gold, Silver, Red, Blue, Green and Purple – each competing team will wear a unified color that matches their new F3F scooter as they race around a lap course that will be set around Cayman Islands newest wreck, the USS Kittywake. See an animated rendering of the Scooter Race on Dive Xtras Cudas here below.
