What to remember
In 2006, Chief Navy Diver Daniel Jackson reached 610 metres, or 2,000 ft, inside an atmospheric diving suit (ADS). That is the depth record for this kind of suit.
The record belongs to deep diving, meaning diving beyond the range normally accepted by the diving community. That range is sometimes set by an authority and sometimes tied to training, and it varies between recreational, technical and commercial diving.
