Inside the Trial and Idea of Breaking Record By Beth Neale and Miles Cloutier
The couple was planning to break this record as they struck the idea back in 2020. Despite all of their practice, underwater filmmakers Beth and Miles admit breaking the record in itself was much more difficult than they expected. The couple said,
“Three days before the record, I could just not hold my breath, We couldn’t even break the existing record – we weren’t even close.”
The professional could not agree less on how challenging it was though both of them were professionals underwater. Miles even renamed the version of his record-breaking feat, “the hero’s journey of a breath hold.”
Despite being professionals, they had to resist the urge to swim to the surface. They take a deep breath at times at trials as the carbon dioxide continued to pile inside their bodies.
They had the zeal to attempt a next time and just achieve it by looking to each other for support during their record-breaking attempt.
Who captured the Longest Underwater Kiss?
After all, love triumphed and their record-breaking underwater kiss was captured by Sidey the Shark, one of the Maldives’ top underwater videographers.
As the couple broke the record with flying colors, a large crowd was there to support them. Not only they were cheered during the attempt in the Maldives, but also everyone praise their guts.
As per the couple, Neale and Cloutier have first met in Bermuda five years ago. It was when Neale was teaching a program called “Kids on the Reef” which taught children how to free dive. And it has been 5 years, an amazing journey plus a new member, 1 and half-year-old angel Neve.
Beth Neale of South Africa is known for breaking records as The Mermaid. She even swam with sharks and whales during her pregnancy. It’s yet another milestone achieved for a four-time freediver champion, master dive instructor, and ocean conservationist, Beth Neale.
