Tanya Streeter: Free-Diver
Tanya Streeter鈥檚 remarkable dive 鈥� on just one breath of air 鈥� to the unimaginable depth of 160m.
Tanya Streeter made a remarkable dive 鈥� on just one breath of air 鈥� to the unimaginable depth of 160 metres. This was a dive that nearly went very badly wrong. As Tanya tells Steve Backshall 鈥� himself a world-class adventurer 鈥� she blacked-out seconds before she began the dive; she developed nitrogen narcosis 鈥� almost like being drunk 鈥� and struggled to remember how to release the pin that would return her to the surface. On the way back up she thinks she blacked out for a second time.
