World Record


A twenty-nine New Zealand free diver set the world record in the Bahamas, by plunging 380ft into the Atlantic Ocean. William Trubridge held his breath for four minutes and nine seconds. He attempted the free dive in world's deepest underwater sinkhole in the Bahamas.



Though it was not just a breeze for him, he had to battle Nitrogen narcosis. Nitrogen Narcosis is when hotheadedness or euphoria occurs when deep sea divers when nitrogen from air enters the blood at higher than atmospheric pressure.
To be able to break not only one record, but ten records is outstanding and very impressive. I think it is really cool to be able to accomplish such a goal with oneself. When you train your whole life for a moment to be the best. It takes a lot of motivation, determination and dedication to be able to experience that feeling. If I was to ever have a world record, I would feel very proud of myself and extremely accomplished.
