There are seven different disciplines, which
are seperated for women and men. |

start ascending.

The athlete descends and ascends with his own strength without the use of
fins.
A hold on the cable is only allowed one time to stop descending and to start
ascending. |

Free Immersion - deep diving without
fins.
The athlete descends and ascends with his own
strength without the use of propulsion equipment. Pulling on the cable
is allowed.

The athlete descends with the help of a "sled"
or ballast weight (max. 35kg) and ascends with his own power, pulling

In
all disciplines the validity for the attempt is the physically integrity
of the athlete during and after the dive. If the athlete loses control
over his muscles (LMC) or loses consciousness (Black Out), the attempt
is not valid. There are different rules for an individual record attempt
and each discipline during a competition.
