Jacques Mayol was the holder of many world records in free diving. He was the first free diver to descend to 100 meters (330 ft) (November 23, 1976), and descended to 105 meters when he was 56 years old...guess what, he was a yogi!
The film The Big Blue, directed by Luc Besson in 1988, was inspired by his life story (and the life story of the Italian diver Enzo Maiorca). It's brilliant, I highly recommend it!
