Beyond Limits Herbert Nitsch was given the prestigious title of The Deepest Man on Earth, when he set the current world record for free-diving at an incredible depth of 214 metres in 2007.
 
As one of the spearheads of free-diving today, Herbert intends to push the limits even further by becoming the first breath-hold athlete to break the 300- metre barrier.

Well the weather got even worse. On top of the strong winds and dark clouds, it is now raining most of the day. All the other athletes took this as a good reason for a day off from training. After all, the conditions at the Blue Hole were anything but inviting. The visibility was down to 3 meters and it was COLD! However my training plan does not consider any “days off”. Rob was selflessly offering his assistance to safety me during my training. It was a rather quick session as we both wanted to get out of the water ASAP. After a short warm-up, to avoid too much freezing I completed a successful target dive to 70 meters.
