Anna Von Boetticher is a Tek Diver...or so we thought! Imagine our surprise when we discovered she was competing at the Individual Freediving World Championship!  In March 2007, she took a freediving course in Dahab and got hooked; so hooked in fact that she won a 'Best Newcomer' Award at the UK Championships in July 2007 with stunning dives to 43m in the Constant weight with fins discipline and 28m in the constant weight without fins. Her next venture was a trip to Dahab for the ‘Triple Depth’ Competition in Dahab. Helped in training in Dahab with big names like Sara Campbell and William Trubridge obviously gave Anna confidence as she broke the German National records with a constant weight with fins dive to 52m and with no fins (that's without being allowed to pull on the rope) to an incredible 35m. These dives gave Anna the eligibility to enter the Individual Freediving World Championship in Sharm el Sheikh where she would be competing against the World’s top freedivers. Anna came 7th overall in constant weight with fins, breaking her own German National Record with a dive to 55m. A dive with no fins to 38m broke another of her records and won her the bronze medal...quite an achievement for someone who has only been freediving for 8 months! 'But I only did it to improve my Tek diving!' Anna proclaimed at the awards ceremony. She admitted to being very nervous before the competition but actually found the dives 'quite easy' She reckons the fact that she has already been deep as a Tek diver has helped her enormously by taking away the fear of depth that some newcomers have. Asked if she plans to stick with freediving in future, Anna laughed and said she would be coming back to Tek dive with us soon as it's the only way for her to see anything at depth; she freedives with her eyes shut!  Tekstreme support World Freediving Competition - [Thursday, November 8 2007]
Tekstreme provided a team of safety divers for the AIDA Individual Freediving World Championship, held at the Apnea Academy in Sharm el Sheikh during the first week of November. Bad weather and the arrival of an Oceanic whitetip added to the excitement at a competition where 26 National Records and 1 World record was broken.  New Megalodon Courses at Tekstreme - [Tuesday, November 6 2007]
Starting from the first of November Tekstreme is pleased to offer you courses on the Megalodon rebreather right up to mixed gas level. Whether you want to learn on the standard Meg or the Copis Meg we can order your unit, get it sent to us here in Sharm so all you have to do is turn up and start your course.For information about the course you can contact us at Tekstreme or check the unit out on the factory site at www.customrebreathers.com  Impressed divers complete Kiss CCR training - [Wednesday, October 17 2007]
"We have just completed our Kiss CCR training with Paul Vinten and wanted to drop you a note to give some additional feedback as we enjoyed the course so much. Paul has been a complete professional throughout our weeks training, he has been incredibly helpful, patient and has at no point let our existing friendship compromise his standards of teaching. He was always willing to spend as much time as necessary on the theory side of the course, and took the time to fully explain the answers to any questions we had. Both Charlie and I found the course challenging, but thanks to Paul we are now happy to jump in on our own, confident that we could cope with any eventuality. We would have no hesitation in recommending the course to others and intend to follow up our training with a Trimix course once we have clocked up enough hours. We would like to pass on our thanks to Paul and all at Emperor in Hurghada." Collin Nunn and Charlie Bennett The Pelagian DCCCR - [Monday, October 8 2007]
Hi All,After a very busy ten days of evaluating and diving we are pleased to offer you courses on the Pelagian rebreather. Andy Fritz who makes the rebreather came over to Sharm to show us his unit. The pelagian is a Diver Controlled Closed Circuit Rebreather, in other words, a manual rebreather. It is similar to the Kiss except that you have a needle valve to determine the flow. This flow can be changed by the diver in the water. There is also a manual bypass that can be activated to control the Po2.   The best thing about the unit is its weight. For the traveling rebreather diver this unit weighs in well below your travel allowance. With an empty scrubber and no cylinders with a normal backplate and wing you can put the whole lot into a bag and have a weight of 11Kg. Truly a portable rebreather.Tekstreme can now offer you courses on the Pelagian up to Mixed gas level. We can also order your unit and have it shipped to you without the bypass valve ready for your course. The bypass valve will be here waiting for you.

Hi all,Following our trip to the Bell Island Iron Ore Mine Expedition, Vlada Dekina has kindly added all her photographs of the trip on this website: www.wrecksandreefs.com/mine.htm Please take the time to have a look.

On 5th January, tekstreme set off for their first safari of 2007. Click here for the full article.Day trips to the Rosalie Moller - [Friday, January 26 2007]
Although most places in Egypt seem to be expanding in size all the time and boats seem to be getting bigger, the time to get from one place to another seems to be getting shorter. A new boat called SKY K has starter running trips from Sharm el Sheikh out to the Rosalie Moller a couple of times a week. The trip departs around 0600 from the main port and takes three and a half hours to reach the wreck. Once there, the boat will tie up and you have three hours in which to enjoy this stunning dive.On a recent trip, 8 rebreather divers and 4 open circuit divers spent an hour on the wreck and incurred only 30 minutes deco. There is so much to see on the wreck that you could spend a lot longer on the bottom. With a maximum depth to the bottom of 55m, you can do a multilevel dive to around 45 for the holds and engine room and then up to 35 for the upper deck, cabins and bridge area. Truly worth getting up early for (but not as early as the Thistlegorm!!) This trip may not be for everyone, so we will advise who is suitable to go depending on their current certification level.

Last week saw the Tekstreme team doing support for William Trubridge's World record attempt at the free diving discipline of "constant weight without fins" to an incredible 81m. You can read Williams diary of the work up and attempt day at this link. Irrespective of what happened on the day we all had a superb day and had the pleasure of working with some true free diving professionals. All the team wish William the best for the future and hope to welcome him back soon. Daily rebreather try dives - [Sunday, October 1 2006]
