A video shared by Guinness World Records (GWR) on their official YouTube Channel has created a buzz among people. The clip shows a man creating a world record by walking 107 meters underwater in one breath. In fact, with this feat he grabbed the title for the longest underwater walk with one breath (male).
“How far can Vitomir Maričić (Croatia) walk underwater... with one breath?” GWR wrote while posting the video. The clip opens to show the man standing in one corner of a swimming pool. Within moments, he starts walking slowly. Text inserts on the video also gives more context to the record. For instance, it also contains a quote from the record creator where he shared, "As a professional freediver I don’t really need to prepare that much for any breath hold record.” Vitomir won a gold medal and two bronzes at the 2021 AIDA Freediving World Championship in Limassol, Cyprus, reports a blog by GWR.
