Ever thought you could walk underwater on just one breath? Well, Australian freediver Amber Bourke just made it happen—walking a jaw-dropping 370 feet and 2 inches underwater, setting a Guinness World Record for the longest underwater walk ever by a woman. Yup, in ONE breath.
At 35, with over a decade of freediving experience, Amber not only smashed her own record of 334 feet but also blew past the previous Guinness record of 357 feet. Weeks of hardcore training (in and out of the pool) paid off big time.
“I’ve always dreamed of holding a Guinness World Record,” Amber said. “This is for personal pride and to raise funds for the Australian Marine Conservation Society.”
How’d she do it? She bent her body at a 90-degree angle, keeping her feet planted on the pool floor while gliding forward with a swimming-like motion. Talk about next-level technique!
This new world record just adds to Amber’s already insane freediving career, with 17 Australian records and a world record under the International Association for the Development of Apnea (AIDA), the authority on freediving worldwide.
But Amber’s not just breaking records for the fame—she’s using her achievement to spread the word about protecting our oceans. Her love for marine life is a huge motivator, and she’s hoping to inspire others to take action for the planet.
Amber’s journey shows that with dedication, passion, and a serious love for the water, you can literally breathe life into your dreams.
