There was technical trouble with the sled that was to take him down to 800 feet, the water was choppy and an ear problem had prevented his training in the critical days before the dive. But Herbert Nitsch, known as "The Deepest Man on Earth" for the 32 world records in free diving he held, tried for yet another and nearly died in the process.
