Hi Clement, very neat dataviz ! How did you get the full history of all payments ? Is it available in the open ? What is 100mdeep btw ? Just a blogging site you are bootstraping or any plans to make a living out of it ? (We met a few months ago @ ToucanToco...)

100m is the depth human can free dive to. Without any aid. Without any fins.

Tribute to people who go deep into things ;).

Nice image! I'm a big fan of Guillaume Nery, the french free diver (4 word records). Actually Constant weight divers are allowed to use fins (monofins most of the time), although they use it only to get to ~30m deep, after that point, the pressure is such that the volume of the body decreases and Archimedes thrust is no longer sufficient to compensate for the weight... so the diver can descend without any mouvement... It's very impressive to see (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d4a_1244462128).

Funny to read about this a few days after Guillaume Nery's accident: a line was set to the wrong depth causing the diverto dive to -139m/456ft instead of -129m/-423ft that he had announced the night before...

I did this work for myself at first as I invested some money on the Lending Club.

Plans will depend on feedbacks I receive. If it generates enough interest I will develop the project into something bigger.

Funny you mention ToucanToco. They helped me in debugging the viz.

Thanks for the replies, what about the source of the data ?
