Guinness World Record Holder Graham Owen, Deepest Blind Diver at 140m, £8 Torch implodes at 111m!

This episode is one that Jim wanted to do for him because he was so fascinated by Graham , we hope you enjoy this as much as he did, it is an incredible chat with a man that pushes himself to his limits and further than most of us with sight would dare to go!

Graham also loves, solo diving, he enjoys Guiding others around Dorothea and into the tunnels, some as deep as 105mtrs, he knows it better than most, a keen caver and skier Graham really has not let his loss of vision stop him at all! He was told by his diving club that Ocean Diver would be as far as he goes, i think they may have underestimated him slightly! He has broken his own record 3 times and the last successful attempt was 140m by accident in 2019, the plan was actually to go to 150m but a serious kit malfunction stopped him at only 140m! imagine an issue at that depth and you cant see it!!

Graham chats to Jim about his early days and how his Scuba Journey started when he was registered blind when he took a Try Dive!

A truly remarkable man, you decide if he is Inspirational or Crazy!! The story about his £8 chinese torch imploding at 111m on his 2nd succesful World Record attemot is brilliant!

All of Grahams Record attempts and his future attempt if the opportunity arises are done for a charity close to his heart, Guide Dogs, if you can spare just £1 it will go towards helping him get another dog when Gypsy retires in a few months, the Guide Dogs are not cheap and the current estimated cost is over £57,000 each!
