Like his previous 2014 attempt, this event is sponsored by New Zealand beverage Steinlager and is being called Trubridge’s “Return to the Deep”. The attempt will be live streamed in New Zealand and across the world via the TVNZ Breakfast Show at 19:40 UTC / 15:40 EST / 12:45 PST / 21:45 CET.
Trubridge, who previously postponed this attempt till he was feeling stronger after a bout of sickness in 2015, has taken to Facebook to tell the world he is ready:
24 hours to go to the Steinlager 102m Freediving World Record Attempt (CNF). All systems are in place, and the forecast is for light breezes with some cloud cover.
