Martin Stepanek set his first world record in freediving back in 2001; hailing from the landlocked country of Czech Republic his astonishing performances have rocked the freediving community worldwide. From 2001 to 2009 he has set over 12 world records, consistently pushing out the boundaries of the predicted human capacity in this fascinating sport. It is without doubt, that as these records progressively get deeper, everyone is wondering: “Where are our limits?”… Well, Martin is ready to show us.

The anticipation for Martin’s record announcement has exploded after Austrian freediver Herbert Nitch recently took what he confessed a “gamble” to achieve an impressive 120 meters in the extraordinary discipline of Constant Weight on 11th April, 2009 - 6 meters deeper than the previous 114 m record.

Martin has announced world record attempts in all three depth disciplines consisting of Constant Weight, Constant Weight without Fins and Free Immersion. These attempts will take place from 22nd May – 31st May, 2009 in the Red Sea, Sinai Peninsula.

The event team, sponsored by SONY, will be providing daily updates as we follow this courageous man as he embarks on yet another journey into Neptune’s abysmal depths attempting to reclaim his title as the worlds No.1. Freediver.
