World Record Deepest Dive

Diving down to 332 meters or 1090 feet is not something you just decide to do. Ahmed Gabr recently set a Guinness World Record for deep diving. It took a large team, 4 years of training and preparation plus 93 tanks of air and tri-mix to get it done. I am excited to be talking with Ahmed about his record setting dive, his preparations, the possible problems and how that one dive has affected his life.
