“South Africa’s Trevor Hutton, has broken the world free diving fresh water free immersion record at a depth of 66 meters.

Hutton is said to have progressed to free diving through his enthusiasm for scuba diving. Over the past three years he has been diving overseas, however, a local news report stated Hutton’s ambition was to break a world record on ‘home’ ground, proving to the rest of the world that South Africans can compete with international divers.
