The dive is also being called a new world record in the Women’s Constant No Fins category. 

Video from Diveye Freediving, which uses a special underwater drone to capture footage of the divers in action, caught the record-setting dive. 

Just don’t hold your breath in an attempt to match Konečná’s feat while watching:

Konečná also won silver medals in the Constant Bi Fins and Constant Weight disciplines, with 70-meter and 85-meter dives, respectively.
