🌊 WHAT’S HAPPENING?We’re attempting a Guinness World Record that pushes the limits of breath-hold endurance, teamwork, and mental strength.
Nine elite freedivers will work together in a 24-hour relay, swimming over 60km underwater.
The discipline is Dynamic No Fins (DNF) — think underwater breaststroke.
No fins. Just lungs, mindset, and teamwork.
It’s a continuous rotation:
Each diver will complete 266–350 laps of 25 metres, averaging around 25 seconds per lap.
That’s 2,400+ underwater laps in 24 hours — all on a single breath.
💡 WHY THIS RECORD MATTERS
This attempt isn’t just about breaking records.
It’s about showing the public what freediving is about.
We believe this challenge has the potential to:
✨ Capture the public’s imagination
🌍 Promote freediving as a safe, accessible, and mentally powerful sport
💙 Showcase the deep connection between breath, movement, and performance
🔥 Inspire people to challenge themselves and grow — as athletes, and as humans
🫶 WANT TO BE PART OF IT?
We’re looking for passionate supporters to join the mission.
We need:
🕒 Volunteers (timekeepers, assistants, general support)
🩺 Qualified medics
💼 Sponsors & partners who want to be part
