Brit Tanya Streeter has just broken the world constant-ballast Free Diving record.

How deep? 400 ft  :shock:  

That is fully mental. Amusingly she describes her diving as "just extreme snorkelling"...

I think she may have invalidated her warrenty!

I've just read she's been to -525ft on a different type of dive where you descend using a weighted sled, and ascend using an airbag. Crazy - it takes us hours to get down caves to that depth and she does it on a single breath!
