Egyptian diver spends 100 hours under water

CAIRO – 23 September 2017: A few hours ago, Egyptian diver Saddam Killany came out after finishing his fourth day under the waters of the Red Sea.

Killany was seeking to break a new underwater record to stay for 120 hours or five days.

The captain of the diving operation, Captain Samir Darwish, said that Killany has passed 100 hours, pointing out that he sleeps and prays and has food and drinks under water.

He said that Saddam's health is very good, and his morale is high, as he has achieved a new record as his determination to achieve the longest dive in history. The biggest challenge is to break the final world record: 154 hours.

Killany uses a full-face mask so that he can breathe during sleep and puts weights on his body during sleep and sleeps over a net to control his body under water.
