Egyptian scuba diver Ahmed Gabr has broken the world record for the deepest technical scuba dive.

While he didn’t reach his goal depth of 350 meters, his 332.4-meter dive on September 18 in the waters off Dahab, Egypt still bested South African diver Nuno Gomes‘ previous 2005 record of 318.25 meters.
