What to remember
On June 26, 2014, in the Red Sea off Egypt, Germany's Andreas Güldner reached a depth of 112 m in skandalopetra. CMAS recognises the result as a freediving world record, in the men's category.
Skandalopetra is one of the depth disciplines recognised by CMAS and takes place at sea. As in every form of freediving, the diver relies on the air of a single breath.
Breath-hold diving is the oldest form of diving used by humans. It is practised for recreation and in competition, and it is part of the way of life of some Indigenous peoples.
