Stig Severinsen, a world champion freediver and breathing expert, captured the Guinness World Record with this amazing feat.

Granted, Severinsen did have some assistance -- before going underwater, he inhaled pure oxygen so as to saturate his body with oxygen. That said, this is still incredibly impressive.

Ok, but did he survive?

Yes, that's a long time to not come up for air.

He's quite the cunning linguist as well, I would venture to say.

Down, down,
Down, down,

My understanding was that the GBoWR would no longer recognize attempts to beat this record due to the extreme danger involved. I'm sure I read that many years ago - perhaps they have reconsidered their position.

This just seems like such a bad idea.
