In the Deep Dominica Free-diving competition, athletes select their desired depths, diving without oxygen tanks to retrieve a Velcro tag at the bottom to prove their achievement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clashing will compete over six days, from July 28 to August 4, with two days on and one day off. The event is sanctioned by CMAS, an international organization governing competitive free-diving.<\/p>
