520' is 175m give or take a bit. Thats 18.5 ish bar.

Tanya's site gives a good explination of the different disaplines of free diving.

Now for a physics lesson, below 10m the human body becomes negatively bouyant so you sink, which is why in the first vid you see the guy sinking without finning.

There is a brit who went down to 300m on open circuit gear!!!! He spent something like 9 hours underwater!

Simon, they're probably the support crew for the crazy lady with the big fins, so the tek kit would be essential.

Do they have divers at different depths that would hand off to the next shallowest support divers when the lower ones hit their stop ceiling on ascent?

NXG, they are the support divers! Last 1 on her 120m attempt was at 100m IIRC.

Alot of my club are RB divers cos they like trimix diving, the mad nutters!

Yes they would, but I'm trying to work out how many rebreathers the guy on the left is using!

Lol, :Luke, she'd need a rebreather for that job

Simon, haven't got the inclination to go TRI, 40m on Nitrox is enough for me

Two by the looks of the gauges, but why has he marked them with different coloured tape? Not going to be much good at depth, I'd have thought one band and two bands would be better...
