Freediver Held Breath Underwater for 24 Minutes and 37 Seconds to Set World RecordCroatian free diver Budimir Šobat proved his prowess and capabilities in surviving underwater by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest time breath held voluntarily (male)!He held his breath underwater for 24 minutes and 37.36 seconds, which was longer than the previous record by 34 seconds. That difference might look minuscule, but holding your breath for a few more seconds is a difficult feat. Let alone surviving underwater for 24 minutes! Budimir attempted the record in Sisak, Croatia, to promote the city and raise some money for people in need due to earthquakes that hit the area. "We have a huge problem here in Croatia with earthquakes... the situation is serious at the moment in Croatia," Budimir said when applying for the record. "We hope to raise some money for people in need because earthquakes destroy the whole city of Petrinja," he added.Image via Guinness World Records#freediving #GuinnessWorldRecord #worldrecord #underwaterbreathing #freediving #Croatia #BudimirSobat
