The Deepest Bear at the 4th AIDA World Championships in Vancouver, Canada



Click here for a more official view of what went on

Deepest Bear had a very exciting time in Vancouver for the 4th AIDA World Champs. He met lots of the worlds freedivers, bought himself a Vancouver jacket to keep warm and met a Kiwi Bird. He made a constant weight dive live on the plasma screen to 25m with coaching from Kaz, challenged the other team mascots to a jump off the high board and a round of animal apnea - and then went on to have a hell of a time at the last night party.

Rumours of DB's demise following this event are clearly untrue..... was it a mass hallucination caused by the combination of hypoxia and alcohol? was it a body double with the real DB actually back in the UK not wanting to miss Bryn's stag night? Do Deepest Bears actually have several lives? or is the little guy just unbeatable? make the decision for yourself but the photographic evidence is here.....
