Naissub Freediving Cup 2011
by Lubomir Stefanoff on Apr.10, 2011, under Freediving
Last week I took part in my first competition – Naissub Freediving Cup 2011, held in Nis, Serbia.
I thought that I’ll be the only Bulgarian at this comp, but soon my friends Ivo and Peter decided to participate, despite the short notice and the limited time for training. I took part only in DYN discipline; Ivo and Peter competed in both static and dynamic apnea with fins. First, It was Peter’s turn at static – he did a solid 5 minutes with room for more – white card 
. Ivo didn’t manage to show what he does in training and exited early, but again a white card and positive emotions.
I had announced 1 meter in DYN and was the first to start. I was relaxed and knew before the start that I’ll make a good swim. Before the competiton I thought over the two options: to exit early for 100% clean dive well below my personal best or go for a near max attempt. I chose the second option…The wall at 50 meters came éarly’ and after that moment I stopped thinking, I was just swimming along the black line. At 125 I considered exiting, but I was completely OK, only my legs felt a bit heavy. I didn’t plan to turn at 150, but at the wall mind control said ‘make the turn’ and I did, a few more meters and I came up at 154, very close to the limit. I made the surface protocol immediately and saw some strange expressions . For a moment I thought that I screwed up sth, but soon I got my first white card. 154 meters, 4th place (third was 157m, first – 172).
That’s in short my experience from the competition. I want to thank the organizers Naissub, my buddies and Divetec Ltd for the support for this trip. Next time the results will be better

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

I know people who have taken the 7 that werent sponsored (test wasnt paid for) by a financial institution but they all were at least semi-hired (you get the job if you pass the test) by a financial institution The problem here I think is that the 7 is somewhat useless You need the license itself but the information isnt practical So the firms that have job openings need to like you and want to hire you then once your in you have to pass the 7 Id expect theyd want you full-time for any of these positions so they probably want the commitment from you in not keeping some other job The short of it in my opinion is that you need to decide if this other job is what you want If it is you might have to take a leap and quit your current job The 7 really isnt difficult so assuming the firm says you are hired upon passing the test I think youll be alright One other thing – I hope you arent saying youd like to take the 7 to add it to your resume but it isnt directly related to a current job you are seeking Again the 7 really isnt anything impressive Its memorization of stuff you should quickly forget once you pass I dont think employers will give you much credit for having the 7 when you apply for a job
