A Turkish diver has broken a world record in 87 meters constant weight apnea Saturday.
Cenk Devrim Ulusoy reached the depth of 87 meters in 1 minute 15 seconds off the coast of the Kaş district in the Mediterranean province of Antalya in the presence of observers from the World Underwater Federation, or CMAS.
Constant weight apnea is the depth discipline of free-diving where no fins are used. Ulusoy completed his diving achievement in 2 minutes 28 seconds.
Homar Leuici of Italy was the holder of the previous world record.
CMAS Vice President Ivan Nyiri and Turkish Federation of Underwater Sports Chairman İnkilap Obruk were among the observers.
Born in Istanbul in 1973, Ulusoy took up sports when he was 5 years old and became a national Turkish athlete when he was 9.
He began training for free diving in 2002 and broke his first official world record in a world championship in Tenerife, Spain. Ulusoy has broken three world records in the “jump blue” category.
