Derya Can

Derya Can Göçen, born Derya Can on 12 October 1979 in Çanakkale, is a Turkish freediver and teacher who has held world records. She studied physical education and sports at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, was a regional athletics success and a runner-up at the Turkish taekwondo championships, and was called to the national camp for the 2000 Summer Olympics before a knee injury ended that career. Inspired by a cousin who had been a freediver, she took up freediving in 2002 and joined the Turkish national team in 2003. She held the world record in jump blue with fins in 2008 with 128.49 metres, and in 2013 and 2014 set constant weight without fins records, improving to 90.20 metres off Kas in July 2014.
