19 Feb Dive world record deep cave diving -312m / 1024ft
Human beings always like to constantly challenge nature, and the same is true for diving. There are always warriors who constantly challenge the diving depth.
At around 8 a.m. on January 6, 2024, 55-year-old extreme diver Xavier Meniscus, 18 minutes after descending, created the cave at one of the bottoms of the Font-Estramar sandbank at minus 312 m New world record for diving (cave diving). Beating the previous record of 308m set in December 2023 by Frédéric Swierczynski from Marseille.
“At 312 m we did not touch the bottom of this flooded canyon. In front of me there was still a gallery, it flattened out and was deeper,” said Xavier Meniscus. He crossed the 300 m barrier by joining a very closed world circle of nine autonomous divers, only two of whom were underground: himself and Swierczynski.
