35-year-old Indian free diver Mario Fernandes from Goa recently put India on the freediving map by bagging 4 national records at AIDA (International Association for the Development of Apnoea) in Israel.
Mario has made our nation proud by breaking 2 previous records in 2 different disciplines: DYNAMIC With Bi-Fins (DYNB) - Previous record was 64m, Mario’s national record now is 86 m, and Static Apnoea (STA) the previous record was 4min 11 sec, Mario’s record for STA is 04 minutes and 29 seconds. He is now all set to break his record on STA with his current breath hold of 7min.
He is the first Indian to compete in the depth setting a new record for India in his first attempt for CONSTANT Weight with Bi-Fins (CWTB) with a national record of 45m (150ft) depth with a dive time of 1 min 40 sec and Free Immersion (FIM) with a national record of 40m (131ft) depth with a dive time of 1 min 35 sec.
Given this was his first attempt, Mario chose to focus on setting records to put India on the global map first. He is now all set to challenge global rankings in his next attempt, at the end of this year.
