From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tanya Streeter, born January 10, 1973 in Grand Cayman, is a world champion free-diver, who made her first important breakthrough in 1998 when she bettered Deborah Andollo's Women's No Limits diving record by 10 feet, achieving a total depth of 370 feet (113 m). Streeter has been known to hold her breath under water for up to 6 minutes.
Streeter was inducted into the Women Diver's Hall of Fame in March 2000. In 2002, she broke the men's no limit world diving record by diving to a depth of 525 feet (160 m) near the Turks and Caicos Islands, a record which was surpassed later that year by French diver Loïc Leferme. In 2003 she broke the men's variable ballast world record by diving to a depth of 400 feet (122 m). She also holds several woman's world records.
Streeter was featured in an Animal Planet documentary, Freediver, airing March 2006.[1]
