- A French freediver broke the world record for deepest dive with bi-fins as he descended to a depth of 120m (393ft).
Arnaud Jerald took 3 minutes and 34 seconds to complete the dive, during the annual Vertical Blue competition in the Bahamas.
It's the seventh time the 26-year-old has broken the world record in his career.

3 minutes and 34 seconds is a long time to hold your breath, but add in the oxygen used to swim that depth and its truly an amazing achievement.
I'm not being an ass or a troll nor do I don't acknowledge his achievement, but there's a fishing tribe in the Philippines that could last for more than 10 mins called Badjao/Bajau under the water. They pick up clams, crabs, and stab fish with spears under the water while walking on the sea floor. I wonder why they don't let them try these kind of things.
@@hestiashearth478 yeah ive heard of a tribe like that too, i think with this the achievement is the depth as the deeper you go the more compression you have on your lungs which uses up oxygen faster in your blood or something like that haha im no biologist. Lots of people have beaten 3 mins 34 before but not at 120 meters deep.
@@MrPringles6996 yeah, deep diving seems extremely difficult tho I don't know the specifics too lol but I'm currently reading 3 diff. articles about Bajaus and it seems like they could confidently go swimming below the ocean surface, 200ft which is 61meters for more than 10 mins. i'm imagining that if they could last longer than 10mins, the deeper they go the shorter they could last(sounds naughty). jks aside, i really wonder if they could beat the world record if they were given a chance.
I did a free dive down to 50 ft in the virgin islands, resurfacing felt like I was dying. Thats a phenomenal free dive
sorry, not so much focused on the time he spent underwater but the depth he reached. did you guys consider the pressure on your body, your lungs and brain when 120m deep under the surface? the pressure is one thing, but he then went back up as fast as possible and this change in pressure on his system probably is quite another matter
120 m depth is almost thirteen (13) atmospheres of pressure - you experience one atmosphere of pressure increase for every 10.06 m (33 ft) of depth in water. That's deeper than most recreational dives (
Beyond incredible because a recreational dive is only up to 40 metres. Nothing recreational here :)
@@ahrenek very true
@@ahrenek luckily freedivers don't experience the negative sideeffects that limit recreational scuba dives to a debth of 40m like nitrogen narcosis and oxygen toxicity.
It’s 10.336 m not 10.06 m
This is decompression depths, anything over 130 ft you need to slowly ascend depending on you time under, this is basically a bounce dive so not needed to decomp
4:55 literally my dad trying to turn off any alarm.
🤣
Interviewer has never used the alarm function before it seems
ﾜｯﾊｹﾗｹﾗｹﾗ🤣ﾜﾗﾜﾗｹﾗｹﾗｹﾗ🤣ﾜﾗﾜﾗ
HAHAHAHHAHA
He looked like he just got handed the phone to use for the first time lmao
The funniest part of this was the reporter struggling to shut off his timer.
80% mind and 20% physicality. That's what this amazing young man Armaud Jerardjust said. It helps to have parents that teach you to conquer your fears, within reason of course. Watching him and seeing how he gets into another zone to complete this dive is so beautiful and uplifting. To me it's similar to a baby going through birth. It's innate in us, we've all done this.
Can’t even tell he is equalizing wow, a lot tragedy’s in this sport, Either way that’s amazing, this had to take him a half a lifetime. Congratulations.
Apnea has the effect of Memento Mori. Remember that you are mortal. As with other extreme sports: due to confront us with death, one can fully BE.
well, it's not really a sport..
I always found free diving very intriguing , probably from watching the movie The Big Blue with Jean Reno , Jean Marc Bar and Rosanna Arquette 30 odd years ago! The French really seem to dominate this sport. Congrats on another wold record!
The Big Blue is my favorite movie. So much so, I went to Taormina Italy to free dive. Too bad legal issues caused it to never be released in American theaters.
@@waltwenzel9549Sounds like a good adventure going to Taormina and doing the free diving as well!!! My favourite movie too! I think I saw it at the theatre here in Canada and then rented it a few more times at Blockbuster. 😁
my favorite movie! the story is a bit simple but somehow it's mesmerising
Rosanna arquette!! holy crap what a talented family, both sisters (Patricia)made seriously legendary movies in ppls lives they remember them and had crushes on, and if course David is ridiculously funny. I always thought what their house was like growing up, and wished mine was like that 😆
If it's mostly french, it's similar to africans dominating the running records because nature dictates them to be good runners. Like how thin eyed humas are accustomed to snowy climate.
That really is a long way down!
I am so pleased he made it back up again! Bravo!!
French freediver breaks deep dive world record - BBC News 1323pm 12.8.22 that's pretty cool. should have shown the whole dive and ascent so we could have gotten a vague insight into how long 3mins is... probably akin to watching 20,000 episodes of darling buds of may.
3 minutes, 34 seconds on one breath, 120 metres dive!
Incredible achievement. Thanks for pushing the limit of humans. Very inspiring.
With all the terrible things on the news these days it’s wonderful to see such an inspectional story! Fabulous job and a whole hearted congrats to this amazing diver and thanks for for the nice press converge….
Ah the curse of auto spell check strikes again.
That's the news job is report bad shit in the world, don't watch it, too much input, we weren't made to absorb global info, we are tribal species, only needing to know where food, water, and mates are at, maybe concerning your tribe of say hundreds, but not this tech age information bombardment, kids are evolving to take it in, but some get overwhelmed, confused, and it takes years to grasp reality of their existence in this place today
I would be afraid I would I'd get the Benz we and pass out or die
!!! I can hold my breath for about 45 minutes. That's enough for me 😜
" Enjoy my life every morning" He said. Great Philosophy meets great science!
Congratulation Armaud Jerard!
You have to believe! Imagine what we are capable of doing when you see something like this!
Not necessarily all of us. Some people can do some things and others can do other things.
I can do a rolly polly with my eyes closed
@@Greenpoloboy3 lol haha. lol.
@@R20966 🙂
am I the only one who laughed when they had the camera angle on him trying to stop the alarm?! xD
This is incredible. Brilliant to have some positive news for once. Bravo
Don't hold your breath
The longest I've held my breath on land walking was 3 mins 34 seconds. I can't imagine adding to that not having the option to breath if needed at that depth. Like he said, it's 80% mental.
I don't believe you.
@@eduardorocha872 Why not? I worked up to it daily for some time but as you can see these divers are doing something much more difficult from a mental standpoint.
I'm just short 119 meters of equaling this record.
I've held my breath for 3 minutes before, but the idea of doing anything even remotely active whilst doing this is ridiculous
Congratulations Arnaud Jerald❤️
The time under is important, but the pressure on the head is the main difficulty
This guy looks very fulfilled.
3:34 is not remarkable in itself. What is remarkable is that energy is being spent diving down and more so on the way up. And the pressure of 11kg/cm2 trying to squeeze that air out of you. That is what makes 3:34 remarkable. Congrats!
3 minutes 34 seconds is in fact remarkable in of itself. I can't do that. Can you do that? Name 100 people that can do that. If you can't. Name 20.
@@Risingofthephoenix WR is over 24 minutes. I don’t know how long people around me hold their breaths obviously, and am not really a breath holding athlete or anything, and there isn’t really a long list of longest breath hold time, so of course I can’t name people but I am just saying, 3:34 has been far surpassed.
Are you kidding me?!? Of course is remarkable.
Just wonderful. And the film “The Big Blue” is absolutely beautiful 🐬
Yes. This reminded me of Jean-Marc Barr as Jacques Mayol in the film.
French freediver breaks deep dive world record - BBC News 1324pm 12.8.22 i bet some obscure south sea island pearl fisher is sat at home thinking: i did five minutes...
Can't wait to see the remake with John Boyega.
No. It is just blue. That's all.
@@alkante2962 French freediver breaks deep dive world record - BBC News 2006pm 13.8.22 it's just blue - what the car or the sky...? the seagulls have arrived...
He is the pride of France. Thanks for hardwork
Mdr
the pride of france is a white flag! hhahaha
@@cheese_stealer722 always the troll to make us this "old good joke" for the 3 millionth time. not bothered ?
The pride of France is actually Africa
I know 2 guys who sadly died freediving,we recovered the body of one,but never found the other who was only 20 years old. almost certainly both had shallow water blackout. I love this sport but it is quite dangerous.
Not only did he have to hold his breath for a long time, but also swam as fast as he could. Very impressive.
4:54 nobody heard any more of his answer from this point as they were too distracted watching the host try to figure out how to stop the countdown on his phone 😅
"That's not that long I can hold my breath longer!"
A five year old.
My head feels like it’s getting crushed at 20 meters I don’t know how anyone could do this 🤷♀️
It looks easy if you watch the video. But I just hold my breath under 2 minutes inside a pool and it is so hard for me. What an amazing physical and mental strength.
when he couldn’t figure out how to turn off the timer 🤣🤣
OMG! So he feels fear and he recalls all the good and happy memories in his mind. He is basically performing the Patronas charm.
Incredible is overused but appropriate here. What an achievement!
Oops, that probably hurts despite being underwater when he smacks his nose on the landing.
Very impressive. Also, very inspiring display of human power
I like the newsman's enthusiasm.
3 minutes and 34 seconds swimming under water, is completely different from breath hold on the ground. He can probably hold his breath 5-6 minutes on the ground.
Down 14 feet and I found it unbearable already. Yes these divers are exceptional beings
Unbelievable, 120m deep, 240m total swim length! Im happy if I can swim the length of my pool at 25m! Amazing!
Seriously. I can barely do one 20 m underwater lap in my pool. To think he did 240m at extremely dangerous depths - mind blowing.
BRAVO!! ..You Earned It! ❤🙌👊 ..love & strength
This is just phenomenal, fair play to all free divers at this level!!!
Whats really interesting to me is how the no limits free diving record is 214m and I think that took him like 9 minutes. That just shows how much oxygen is used by exerting yourself.
This diver is a class act, kudos to him!
Insanely incredible good work 👌🥇🥶👍
That took my breath away
Pushing the limits of what is possible…awesome
finally a decent frenchman well done!
We are all decent
@@GLOC351 oiu misour
Free divers have unbelievable mental strength !!!💪 👏 💯
This summer I dove six meters deep in the sea and my ears and head started to hurt, so I ascended. This guy diving 120 meters deep must require some sort of special genetics lol
That's absolutely impressive man🔥👏👏🇫🇷
He is amazing! And I am glad that he referenced the movie Big Blue because I've seen it several times when I was young and thought it was something really special they did back then, but also insanely dangerous! As he said, the way they do it today seem to be much better for keeping it safer at least.
Aquaman literally! And I’m afraid to go in the water! Lol 😆 congratulations amazing
Nice to see some recognition for such a task!!! Well done on the record!
Fun fact - Sargo-class submarines from 1939 had dives rated at 250 ft (76 m) for safe operations and a Crush Depth Possible 450 ft (140 m).
That was absolutely incredible. What a breath of fresh air in the current climate of the run of the mill news stories which revolve around the downfall of civilization instead of promoting achievements. Thank you for this and congratulations to Arnaud.
I hope more news platforms can hop on this and lets create a trend of success and not the popularized fear mongering broadcasts.
(Civilization is still approaching downfall, though)
:)
Amazing!
Whoa, good for him🙌

What an accomplishment! The human body and mind are superb!
incredible.
i have difficulty even going to just the deepest ends of the usual public pools - which are only maybe 13-18 feet deep on average.
You mean 3 meters?
@@Dexxter_slav Yes around there. I'm 6'2 feet so around 189 CM.
At full extension in the deeper end of the pool, my hands are almost at the surface - maybe still a couple feet below.
I can already feel massive pressure in my ear drums though.
@@Dexxter_slav 3 meters? How many thumbs is that?
@@Heartadiaeah, the eardrum pressure is the worst. Makes me hesitant to scuba dive, like what if my ears start bleeding lol.
He could have gone even further!! He made that look easy. Smooth like Silk.
I wonder if given the same equipment a pearl diver could beat that...
Awesome, bravo Arnaud and your team! Interesting to hear that you won’t go deeper than a given preset target. Safety first. Bravo again!
My ears start to hurt when I dive to 3 meters deep. How do his ear drums not explode?
Scary
Congratulations. What an incredible achievement.
Mans been free diving since 7! And broke the world record 7 times.
Gerard's big moment touch my thalassophobia... really...
That's nothing I can hold my breath for 5 minutes
Fantastic 👊
The big blue
Yes always live in the present moment. Meditation.
So your telling me he dove down to a depth of one whole Godzilla? Wow!
Did he just smack into the 120 ft marker? 😅😂
You are a superstar man! Keep up the good work!
Amazing! That's and insane feat. I'm amazed at how he just sank with full lungs. Definetly have to be fit AF

# dyslexia rules 💪🏼Amazing accomplishment - Congratulations!
What a great interview. I really liked the questions, the passion and the fact that he mentioned his dyslexia ❤ Another positive role model ✊🏼
And here I feel overwhelmed by crossing underwater my 15 meters pool
But... Did he find his car-keys, that's all I want to know? 😉
Sadly, no. His keys were 125m deep so he had to walk back home.
Lucky for him, I won't be attempting to beat that record.
Luc Besson could make another movie soon.
...or we can all just watch Le Grand Bleu again.
Did he swim sideways? Where can you go that deep with this drought right now? My post is obviously a joke.
5:00 Samsung UI Designers going back to the drawing board
Wow, an amazing dive!
No words for this guy. What about the water pressures at that depth? He must be extraterrestrial.
My ears hurt watching this so much pressure
So beautiful..vicardo Trinidad and Tobago wi
Marvelous!
Real life Batman.. and he did it with positive memories/energy.
10 m depth already… makes me anxious… 12x…. Definitely not my thing! Kudos to him!
Deepest I’ve been able to dive in my 18 years of life is 20 feet.I can stay down in water for a long while, sometimes as much as a minute and a half.Hats off to that guy, the pressure alone would be hard to deal with, when I dive deep with my snorkel mask the pressure really constricts you after about ten feet.
You can equalise
Yes you can equalise or get rid of the mask altogether
Dammmm bro congrats I can’t even dive 12 feet my ears wa to explode
I could only hold my breath for 18 seconds 🙆🏿
Superb!
Congratulations 🥂🍾
Congratulations! He looked great!😃
Impressive!
Dont try this at home kids
4:53 wanted to look away 🤭
My ears would be dead just by going a little bit under the sea, but I don’t feel anything in a aircraft
His girlfriend...you ain't done yet! I know how long you can hold your breath
Made it to 1:50 left Id be a gonner 🤣 great job man.
