Theo dove on a special breathing gas mixture of Hydeliox (Hydrogen, Helium & Oxygen).
Theo Mavrostomos wore his Rolex SEA-DWELLER [Reference 16600] when he set this amazing record in 1992 (as seen below). This model of SEA-DWELLER had a 1,219 Meter depth-rating which is equal to 4000 feet. This set the all-time depth-record for a simulated dive with remains to this day. Together Rolex and COMEX had pushed the absolute boundaries of what was necessary or realistic.
