A French swimmer who lacks legs and arms successfully dived through a 108-foot deep well in Brussels on Thursday (January 10).

The limbless athlete set a new world record in disabled diving, at the world’s deepest indoor swimming pool.

Philippe Croizon, had his limbs amputated after a 1994 electrical accident at age 26.

He completed the underwater achievement with the aide of paddle-like prosthetics with flippers and with the help of 15 experienced divers.
