A passionate four-minute, six-second kiss has resulted in a renowned free diving couple breaking a Guinness World Record.
South African free diver Beth Neale and her Canadian partner Miles Cloutier, who are also underwater filmmakers, recently broke the record for the longest underwater kiss at Lux South Ari Atoll in the Maldives.
Their shared passion for the ocean, and love for underwater filmmaking, have seen them exploring and filming extensively.Neale said while holding “your breath in the comfort of your home is one thing, officially attempting a Guinness World Record in front of a crowd with an adjudicator is another, especially when emotions are greatly amplified”.
“We had to be completely relaxed and confident, even when our bodies were experiencing something else,” said Cloutier. The record-breaking kiss was not without a wardrobe malfunction, with Miles’ goggles snapping off his head right before they got in the water. Their camera, which is so often recording, captured the moment the critical plastic piece popped off, bounced twice off the ground and fell between the grates of the infinity edge pool drain. They tried to recover the piece, but laughed it off, tied a knot in the goggle strap and thanked the unlucky accident for a brief distraction from their nerves.
