World record info is wrong

[edit]

The intro says "She is a Guinness Book of World Records record holder for apnea free diving, with a dive of 121 m (328 ft) for 18 minutes and 32 seconds." But the page has been misread or is just written wrong. See Static_apnea - the time of 18:32 was a world record for holding breath with pure oxygen, and is a completely separate thing from diving as deep as possible (where pure oxygen is not allowed). In fact it makes no sense to go so deep on a pure oxygen attempt, since you would waste so much muscle power. A photo of the Guinness certificate at [1] shows the record of 18:32 has nothing to do with diving deep - I know we don't like sources like this but it is good evidence that the article is incorrect.

As far as the record section a lot of it seems to have been taken from this document on her page: [2]. Perhaps with this additional info more sources can b found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.66.71.88 (talk) 23:01, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Under which association were those WR's achieved?

AIDA,CMAS,IAFD,FREE or Guinness? national records are also set under one of the former. 213.149.61.164 (talk) 01:46, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
