On Suunto Vertical Blue compete athletes who haven't trained for long and are diving to 30-50m, right up to the biggest names in the sport, who are setting national or world records at almost every event, together.

Among those attending this year are Ryuzo Shinomiya (JAP), Annelie Pompe (SWE), Katarina Linczenyiova (SVK) and William Trubridge (NZL) the World Star’s of freediving.
