William Winram 145m Freediving World Record - VWT

On September 3, 2013, at approximately 3:00 PM in the crystal-clear waters of Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, William Winram executed a historic dive to a breathtaking depth of 145 meters (476 feet), setting a new AIDA Variable Weight world record. Utilizing a weighted sled to plunge rapidly into the deep blue sea, he spent a grueling 3 minutes and 8 seconds on a single breath of air, navigating extreme pressure before powering his way back to the surface using only his fins. Upon surfacing, Winram flawlessly completed the strict AIDA surface protocol under the watchful eyes of international judges, officially shattering the previous four-year-old record and cementing his legacy in the elite history of freediving.
