Aleix Segura

Aleix Segura is a Spanish freediver from Barcelona, born on 28 November 1986, who has won world championship titles under both AIDA and CMAS. He learned to dive in the sea on family holidays on the Costa Brava and developed his breath-hold ability through spearfishing, before starting to compete in 2011 after finishing architecture studies. He specialises in static apnea, in which he held his breath for more than ten minutes in competition, and he won world titles in the discipline in 2015 and 2016. In 2016 he set the Guinness World Record for the longest voluntarily held breath by a man, 24 minutes and 3.45 seconds on pure oxygen. He is the only person to hold the AIDA, CMAS and Guinness static apnea titles at once, and he works as an architect.
