Deepest underwater model photoshoot

The deepest underwater model photoshoot is 49.80 m (163.38 ft) and was achieved by Steven Haining, Ciara Antoski (both Canada) and Wayne Fryman (USA) in Pompano Beach, Florida, USA, on 19 December 2024.

The team first achieved this record in 2021 at a depth of 6.40 metres, and decided to re-claim their record with a new, much deeper attempt.

The photoshoot took place on the deck of the Hydro Atlantic shipwreck in Boca Raton. Steve Haining was the photographer, Ciara Antoski was the model, and Wayne Fryman was the technical diving and safety expert. In advance of the attempt, both Steve and Ciara had to go through an additional ear of technical training, gas blending and decompression practice in order to safely make it to the depth recorded.
