BRAZIL NATIONAL RECORD!

On the 28th of September in a Free Immersion dive I achieved the depth of 69 meters!
This dive reflects what I always dreamed for: a Brazilian National Record!Yeyy!
This also corresponds to the deepest South American athlete to conquer this depth in an official competition and puts me in the Second Place on the World's Ranking list for this dicipline for this year.
The competition was called Little Blue Hole and it was organized by fellow friends and AIDA instructors Brian and Wendy. I was the first one in the water, wich is very lucky as we dont get to feel the pressure of other divers and can keep the mind focused.
The day was extremely beautiful and the sea was very calm, (not so common at this time of the year in Dahab) and I had a supper coach, Linda Paganelli, wich helped me to keep focused and gave me a feeling of familiarity. 
The dive went really well and i was awarded with a white card (uhuu!) and put me as the deepest woman in the competition.
For every athlete, a record is the recognition of ones effort and dedication, and is with extreme gratitude that i celebrate this reward.
It took support of my friends and family and i thank everyone  that help me achieve this.
I am super happy with the results and ready to prepare for the next challenge!

Free Immersion is  one of the most natural disciplines as without the help of the fins the athlete makes use only of the cable to move up and down by pulling it.
