Vitomir Maričić, a Croatian freediver, is a master athelete in his sport. Last year, he smashed through the Guinness World Record for the longest underwater walk. That record had also been held by a Croatian freediver and was almost 315 feet.

Maričić conducted his attempt at the pool of Thalassotherapia Opatija, a rehabilitation center in Croatia, in September of last year. Maričić says that he didn't actually train for this project. As a world-class freediver, he didn't need to. Instead, he held a weight (to keep himself from rising) and walked back and forth along the 164-foot pool for 3 minutes and 6 seconds.
