Sara Campbell

Sara Campbell is a British freediver who was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and educated at Bancroft's School and Bristol University, where she studied German and Italian. She worked in public relations in London before moving to Dahab, Egypt, in 2005 to set up a yoga holiday business, where a student noticed how well she could hold her breath and she took up freediving. She became the former world record holder in free immersion, with a dive to 81 metres, in constant weight, with 96 metres, and in constant weight without fins, with 56 metres. On 2 April 2009 she set a women's world record of 96 metres in constant weight in the Bahamas. She still lives in Dahab, where she teaches freediving and Kundalini yoga, and she is a face of The Underwater Channel.
