The deepest dive record claim is really interesting. I was curious if I could some more context around it. Lo and behold, the deepest dive records I can find by anyone, regardless of gender or whether or not it’s with scuba, and all of which are modern, aren’t that deep. I wonder what AOs source is.
- proaralyst 4y agoHere's the Guinness record: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/630558-deepest-untethered-sea-walk https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/630558-de... There's more on the web if you search for her name: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=earle+deepest+dive https://duckduckgo.com/?q=earle+deepest+dive The JIM is a hard suit, so depth limits are very different to Scuba: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIM_suit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIM_suit
- belorn 4y agoCorrect. The record is for "deepest untethered sea walk", and the JIM suit is generally classified as a submersible, similar to a one-person submarine. scuba units are usually defined as a breathing apparatus that deliver breathable gas at ambient pressure. The life support system inside a hard suit deliver breathable gas at atmospheric pressure.
- CSSer 4y agoAwesome, thank you! I did a similar search to yours but didn’t turn that record up. This was just before bed for me, so I must’ve overlooked her. That suit looks just like a big daddy from Bioshock!
