Free-diver with more than 25 world records plunges 442ft on one breath

A Russian free-diver who already had at least 25 world records under his belt may have just smashed two more after descending 442 feet on a single breath twice.

Alexey Molchanov, 36, undertook two dives on Friday and Saturday at the world's second-deepest marine cavern, Dean's Blue Hole in the Bahamas.

The Russian has now been dubbed the 'Deepest Man on Earth' after he reached the astonishing depth of 442 feet (133 metres) holding his breath for the duration of 4 min 42 sec.
