Herbert Nitsch, born on 25 April 1970, is an Austrian freediver known as the deepest man on earth after a dive to 253.2 metres, or 831 feet. He has held 33 world records across the eight freediving disciplines recognised by AIDA International and one more in the traditional Greek discipline of skandalopetra. His first dynamic apnea record, set in January 2001, was the first world record made with a monofin, and he introduced the neckweight, a weighted collar that lets a swimmer stay more horizontal and streamlined, in his first dynamic without fins record of 131 metres.
