Ahmed Gabr’s passion for diving began at an early age when he first discovered the joys of exploring beneath the waves. Over the years, he honed his skills and became a certified combat diver of the United States, the only one in the entire Middle East! With each dive, he pushed the limits of human capacity, both mentally and physically, leaving a mark in the history of diving while achieving the deepest dive ever performed by a man, which is also the deepest dive in seawater. By the way, he is an SDI Instructor Trainer Ambassador. Maurice Fargues, a member of the GRS ( Groupement de Recherches Sous-marines, Underwater Research Group headed by Jacques Cousteau), died in 1947 after losing consciousness at depth in an experiment to see how deep a scuba diver could go. He reached 120m (394ft) before failing to return line signals. He became the first diver to perish using an Aqua-Lung. [76] [77] [78] The record holder for the fastest 10 km scuba diving is Faisal Hassan, a disabled scuba diver that wanted to prove that physical limitations do not always prevent one from following their dreams. The Iraqi diver trained from three months in pools and one month in the open sea before setting the new record in Hurghada, Egypt, on August 22, 2018. The dive lasted 5 hours and 24 minutes, breaking the previous record held by an able-bodied diver by almost an hour.The most people scuba diving simultaneously was 3,131 people and was achieved by Indonesia Women’s Organisation (WASI) (Indonesia) in Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia on 3 August 2019. ( Guinness World Records) Guy Garman died on 15 August 2015 in an unsuccessful attempt to dive to 370m (1,200ft). [83] [84] The Virgin Island Police Department confirmed that Guy Garman's body was recovered on 18 August 2015. [85] The record for the longest open freshwater scuba dive is currently held by Jerry Hall from the United States. Hall dived to a depth of 3.6 meters (12 feet) on a submerged platform in Watauga Lake, Tennessee, where he remained for 120 hours 1 minute 9 seconds. He stayed underwater from August 29 to September 3, 2004, and did not surface at any time. Hall ate and slept regularly and exercised using a stationary bike, and an underwater TV with a DVD player provided the diver with entertainment.
