 | | Thursday, April 29, 1999 in Grand Cayman, Kirk Krack won a new free diving record in a new specialty category of free (breath-hold) diving by descending to 250f/76m with the aid of a motorized diver propulsion vehicle (DPV) manufactured by Farallon USA. |
 | | A weighted line in the water was a reference only, with Kirk riding the DPV beside the line up and down to the new Specialty DPV Assisted Record depth of 250f/76m. |
 | | The record event was the sixth event held in Grand Cayman, due to the ideal diving conditions with visibility at 100f/30m, easy to reach depths off the walls, warm water conditions (82F/28C), ESE winds at 12 knots, mild current and the availability of the training and support to safely conduct these records. |
