From the surface to the Goal Depth, Support Divers must be
positioned no farther than 20 meters/ 66 feet apart.
From the surface to the Goal Depth, Support Divers must be
positioned no farther than 10 meters/ 33 feet apart. All Support
Divers must be able to see the nearest team member in each
direction along the Guide- Line. All Support Divers and the
Freediver must carry a clearly distinguishable luminescent
signal that is visible
from at least 10 meters/ 33 feet of distance. The authorization
for an attempt under these conditions is at the Judges’
discretion and is based on their perception of these conditions
not compromising the safety and integrity of the attempt.
One (1)
Surface Assistant must be positioned every 50 meters/164 feet
along the Guide-Line.
A
minimum of one (1) Surface Assistant is required for attempts
in 25 meter/82 feet pools and a minimum of two (2) Surface
Assistants is required for attempts in 50 meter/164 feet pools.
- The use of Scuba Divers as Support Divers, in addition
to Surface Assistants, is optional for Horizontal Immersion
categories.
All Support Divers that
participate in the attempt must have completed a minimum of
three (3) training dives with the team prior to the attempt.
All Support Divers must
fill out a Dive Profile Form for each of the dives, including
the attempt, in which they participate as part of the team.
The Freediver and the Diving Officer must sign these Dive
Profile Forms and a copy of each and every one of them must
be given to the Judges prior to their departure from the location
of the attempt. The Dive Profile form is part of the Record
Package. An equivalent form can be prepared and used by the
Diving Officer or Organizing Committee, as long as this form
contains all the information detailed in the Dive Profile
Form for all the members of the team.
The Organizing Committee
must plan the Training Dives schedule so that the Judges can
witness and evaluate at least one (1) Training Dive prior
to the attempt. The Goal Depth/Goal Length of this dive must
be at least half of the Goal Depth/Goal Length planned for
the attempt.
Photo and Video Camera
Operators Requirements:
- Those divers operating Photo and/or Video cameras during
the attempt must meet the same qualifications as the Support
Divers.
- They cannot outnumber the Support Divers underwater during
the attempt. Those Video and/or Photo camera operators diving
below 60 meters/ 198 feet must be positioned at the same depth
of a Support Diver, no farther than 10 meters/ 33 feet apart,
horizontally, from this diver.
- If during the Training Dive or Dives the Judges witness
and evaluate prior to the attempt they decide that the presence
of Photo and/or Video camera operators in the water may compromise
the safety and integrity of the dive, the Judges may require
their exclusion from the attempt.
F.R.E.E. requires that every diver participating in a record
attempt as a Support Diver have a valid Safety Diver certificate.
This certificate is not a substitute for any of the required
certificates issued by any of the Authorized Scuba Certification
Agencies, but it is proof that the diver has successfully
completed a Safety Diver certification course. These courses
qualify the diver to conduct rescue and stress management
operations in the safest and most efficient manner within
the frame of a Record Attempt, as defined by F.R.E.E.
- The certificate "Deep Team Diver Italy" is an
acceptable equivalent to the Safety Diver certificate and
may be used in its stead.
