Tanya Streeter

Tanya Streeter, born Tanya Dailey on 10 January 1973 in Grand Cayman, is a British-Caymanian-American freediver who was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame in March 2000. She took up freediving at 25 and in 1998 bettered the women's no limit record by ten feet with a dive of 370 feet. On 17 August 2002 she dived 525 feet (160 metres) near the Turks and Caicos Islands, a depth that stood for more than two months as the overall no limit record, above the men's, and that remains the women's no limit record. In 2003 she broke the men's variable weight record with a dive of 400 feet (122 metres). She retired from competition after having her children, has presented television documentaries and today works as an environmentalist, living in Austin, Texas.
