Arnaud Jerald has broken the bi-fins freediving world record by descending to 400ft under water. The 27-year-old reached the mark at Vertical Blue, known as one of the world’s leading freediving competitions, in the Bahamas. It took him 105 seconds to descend and 109 seconds to ascend, meaning he was submerged for nearly four minutes. Jerald has broken the world record eight times, surpassing Umberto Pelizzari’s 1990s record of six.
