It was a career high for a record low.
David Vencl reacts after his successful 170-foot dive under the ice of Lake Sils on March 14, 2023.REUTERSCzech free-diver David Vencl comes out of the water following his dive under the ice of Lake Sils on March 14, 2023.“There is nothing difficult for him to be in cold water … Lack of oxygen is something normal for him. But this was completely different because it’s really difficult to work with the pressure in your ears in cold water.
“If you combine all these three things: cold water, lack of oxygen and the problem with working with pressure, it’s something very unique.” The water was between 33.8 and 39.2 degrees when Vencl took the plunge. Air temperatures hovered around 40 degrees. David Vencl celebrates after his successful attempt to dive under the ice of Lake Sils on March 14, 2023.Vencl later visited a hospital to confirm the record-breaking dive hadn’t posed any serious risk.
The Guinness World Record is the second for Vencl — he first made it into the book in 2021 after swimming the 265-foot length of an iced-over Czech lake with just one breath.
