The Ultimate Dive. The deepest dive in history: -209.6 m

On June 2005, challenging science and opening his mind to new possibilities, Patrick has redefined the human limits. Shattering the deepest human performance ever registered (171m) he dove on a single breath of air at -209.6m!

Within 3 weeks and only 10 dives Patrick Musimu marked history by diving consecutively to 100, 136, 151, 170, 185 meters, and reached the mythical mark of 200 meters on the 26th of June.

On the 30 th of June, his body exhausted forced him to stop after a dive at - 209,6 meters, shattering the deepest human performance registered, by almost 40 meters. Never in the diving history, such a gab between performances has been achieved. To quote Patrick: "We still have the capacity to mould a dream into reality".

Haha 209 meters my ass. At 209 meters below the surface it's pitch black! :)

The light looks about right for that kind of dive at that depth. Plus, closer to the equator there is obviously more light. No trickery. There are many types of free diving. This is not the deepest free dive by far.  Still a very interesting video.

@wtficantgetausername the deeper you go the smaller your lungs get and if you go up again they go back to normal size, so if he would take some oxygen before he goes up again, his lungs would explode. so no he didn't

[MRUndrwatrhuntr]

you trollz are such gay stupid homos without respect for somebody who is better than you!!! patrick musimu is a well known freediver he broke a lot records and if you really think that this is fake, why would a big assosiation like aida or cmas accept this as a worldrecord??? he deserves honor but you guys just make me sick

R.I.P Patrick Musimu

This is called free diving, hè doesnt breathe compressed air, so no deco is needed.
