“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.

We won’t give away everything the video shows, so take a look:

The video of the man creating the record was shared a few days ago. Since being posted, the clip has accumulated more than 1.3 lakh views and the numbers are only increasing. The share has also prompted people to post nearly 2,000 likes and counting. The video has also accumulated several comments. Many shared how the record left them surprised.

“He was so calm while I was here freaking out on his behalf,” wrote a YouTube user. “Pretty sure this guy could explore the whole ocean in one breath,” shared another. “Yo, 107 meters with just only one breath? How is this even possible tho???” wondered a third. “He is a real legend,” commented a fourth.
