JERRY HALL BREAKS RECORD -DIVER UNDER WATER SIX DAYS
WCYP : RECORDBREAKER DIVER JERRY HALL article by By Meredith Machen
Excerpt: For the third time in his life, Hall holds the world record for longest freshwater scuba dive. Now it will take more than 145 hours and 31 minutes to beat him.
Though his hands and feet are shriveled, Hall said he's feeling great.
The diver told us one of the hardest parts about this dive was the temperature. "I was really cold. I just told the guys, [and] they worked the problem out [and] fixed it. They got me back to being semi-warm. I'm just now starting to warm up," Hall said shortly after he surfaced.
