It’s been a tough time for us, but we’ve reached our goal! Now it’s time for the last dive, it’s just going to be a fun dive,” they write on their social media profile

300 km underwater ???? Yesterdaywe start our dive early in the morning. Really bad conditions of the sea and terible weather brought us a lot of trouble, but still we didn’t give up:).

At 08:44 after 20 days and over 110 hours of diving we’ve made our minimum plan for this trip – 300 km below surface using dpv:)

#janiuczachor has still 10 days in front. Our goal is to hit 450 km and set the new guiness world record!

By the way we’ve made about 20% more on each dive:)

However, the record itself was not an end in itself. It was primarily about raising awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and raising funds for the charity. Although the record has been set, everyone can still help and donate at www.300ktodefy.com/donateand become part of an amazing project to help Milosz.
