Deepest Scuba Dive In The World: Not an easy feat to do, but committed by Ahmed Gamal Gabr, an Egyptian man who apparently is not only a great and pretty crazy scuba diver but also a fantastic person.
The Deepest Scuba Dive In The World was entered yesterday, Sept. 18th into the Guinness World Records. How did Ahmed do this?
In order to reach the deepest scuba dive in the world, things were carefully planned. It turns out that going for great distances underwater can threaten the life of any person. This not due to animals and fishes found there, but other factors included.
The water has a natural pressure that is put into any human body. Also, there is a limited time for breathing not to be an issue under there. Ahmed Gamal Gabr did the deepest scuba dive in the world by getting into the Red Sea, that is between Africa and Asia and went under for 332,35 meters, which would be equal to 1,091 feet.
The funny thing is that the Red Sea goes in total as far as 490 meters deep, so this man was a bit more than a hundred meters away from reaching the absolute bottom.
In order to perform the deepest scuba dive in the world, according to the Business Insider, a team trained him for four years to do this and the pressure of water becomes of 35 kilos per square centimeter down there.
Also, he started with a team who were filming the whole thing and after the first 100 meters; he left them behind and went on alone.
It took him 15 hours to return and 60 different tanks that were compressed to aid him to return safely.
What does Ahmed have to say about doing the deepest scuba dive in the world? "Breaking the world record in open circuit scuba diving is about achieving the highest professional standard of excellence," has been posted in a Facebook page dedicated to him.
He also has his own personal Facebook and a Webpage in which not only he has done this but also teaches other scuba divers to be as good as him.
