Hungarian diver Gusztav Riczler has set a new world record of 270 meters (just over 885 feet) for the deepest unaided scuba dive.   Riczler, who is 37,  descended to the maximum depth in 14 minutes in the Red Sea's Blue Hole, off the coast of Egypt, and then started the long ascent back to the surface, which required several decompression stops that totaled eight hours.

Riczler is listed as an IANTD instructor in this page,

which also contains the photograph above.
