I went 122ft. in 2004 while scouting for the national championships in Hawaii, and spent literally days diving between 75-110 ft. All freediving. And the difference between 100-110 ft is about the difference between a 10lb kelp paddy yellow, and a 50lb mossback. The extra 10ft is very difficult. I have been only 8 ft shy, and I can't imagine pushing for that last 8 ft, even to try and save a friend. Crazy.  | I get where your comin from, But crawling under that ledge? Thats some serious shit. What if the grouper came out and wrapped him up in his own shooting line? You always have to think of the variables. However he was able to pull it off this time. But one of these times his luck might run out. And we will probably be hearing about it.
