David Blaine made the record, spending a soggy 17 minutes 4.4 seconds in an acrylic bubble filled with water.

But.......Although David Blaine's record is recognized by Guinness, it is not recognized by the free diving community due to the fact that he spent 23 minutes breathing pure oxygen before his attempt.
