11-Year-Old Breaks World Scuba Diving Record, Can Swim Alongside Tiger Sharks and Giant Manta Rays

An 11-year-old British schoolboy has smashed a world scuba diving record despite living almost 100 miles from the sea. On July 23, Ethan Evans became the youngest person to complete 130 dives before the age of 12. The previous scuba record for children under 12 was 102 dives. He reaches depths of up to 30 meters (98 feet) on each dive and regularly swims alongside tiger sharks and deadly giant manta rays. Now, he’s aiming to log an unbelievable 150 dives before his 12th birthday in April next year. “His words were, ‘I’m going to set the record so high so that no one can beat it,'” said his mom, Aimee. “He’s got his heart set on beating it. He turns 12 in April, so he’s got plenty of time to do it.”...
