An Australian freediver has broken the world record for the longest underwater walk in a single breath among women after covering a distance of 112 meters on the bottom of the pool.
This was announced by the Guinness Book of Records.
It is mentioned that Amber Burke, aged 35, has been practicing freediving for more than 10 years. Before breaking the record, she underwent intensive training in and out of the pool.
“I wanted to do this for a personal sense of achievement – it’s always been my dream – to get the Guinness World Record title, but also to raise money for the Australian Society for the Protection of Marine Life and Wildlife,” Amber said. .
During the dive, the woman bends her back at an angle of 90 degrees and moves in this position to the bottom of the pool.
She covered 112 meters in one breath, equivalent to the height of more than two 16-story buildings.
Amber Burke already holds 17 Australian freediving records and a world underwater swimming record set by the International Freediving Association.
