318.25 meters underwater!

diveI received an email from Nuno Gomes' friends informing me of a new world record he set in Egypt last month. A portion of the email: "The shot line was measured under controlled conditions using impartial observers. The official measurement is 318.25 metres sea water. This is a new world record." You may remember Nuno from a previous post of mine. His last record was 282m set in Boesmansgat.

318.25 meters? That's 1043ft. Talk about deep. Nuno and team, if you are out there, congratulations. Click on for a more detailed account.
