Russian freediver Alexey Molchanov plunged 126 meters (413 feet) beneath the Mediterranean Sea in a single breath to establish a new world record in freediving. The record was achieved under the auspices of AIDA International, the governing body for freediving competitions. Molchanov’s feat underscores the limits of human breath-hold diving and raises the bar for depth performance in the discipline. Observers say the dive was executed with exceptional control over ascent and descent, and will be widely celebrated in the freediving community.
