Hi Stephan,
Little information is available at present. I can tell you that it was Jim Lawless, probably until now, little know in the world of Freediving. He is also a motivational speaker, which is how I know of him. He is the author of "Taming Tigers" and is better known as the guy who took a £1 bet to see if he could become a professional jockey in under 12 months. He lost 3 stone and had to learn to ride as he had never sat on a horse before. He was successful and rode in his first professional race within the year.
His story is even more amazing because he took up freediving recently to raise money for a children's charity called Sparks.
I have put some news on my web site and hope to add more soon. Here are the links. Record information click on News Item. Jim Lawless details. Justgiving please make a donation.

Marek,
I'd be interested in knowing more - we're probably not going to publish a news item about it until we understand more about the record attempt (judges, record validation, etc...)
