2009 Freedive Test Days
Report Freedive Testdays 09 / Rovinj
For the first time the Freedive Testdays 09 were held in Rovinj. The intention of the event was to give apnoea divers the opportunity to test a broad assortment of freediving equipment for a whole weekend. The organizer Christian Kozmuth (Online Shop apnoe-shop.com) won the right partner for this event and that was Mares. With the product line Mares - Pure Instinct, designed specifically for apnoea divers, everything from dive masks, snorkels, fins, wetsuits up to a range of harpoons could be tested. And with great appeal of alle the participants. Dusan Runjajic (International Sales and Marketing Director of Mares), explained the different products and their handling and benefits so that each of the divers and "Harpooneti's" could arrange an optimal test-equipment suited for his own personal needs and wishes.
Throughout the event Christian Redl (multiple free diving world record holder) accompanied and instructed the participants in many Free-Dives. That way many tips and experiences could be exchanged.
In its debut the event was visited by more than 30 Apnoea Divers - amongst them Maria Kedwani-Künßberg (multiple Austrian apnoea record holder) - who found their ways from Germany and Austria to Rovinj / Croatia, to participate in this unique happening.
One of the events' highlight was a special Mares harpoon training followed by a target shooting. The Organizers put a special emphasis on the safety arrangements and the training process to ensure fun and safety for all "Harpooneti's"
The organizer Christian Kozmuth and his team succeeded in creating a very successful event which every apnoea enthusiast can look forward to in the next year.
