About Audrey Mestre

Audrey Mestre (11 August 1974 – 12 October 2002) was a French world record-setting freediver. There, she took up serious free-diving and with Ferreras as her instructor was soon reaching record depths. A year later she broke her own record, by descending to 130 meters (427 ft). Prior to Streeter's dive, the record was 154 meters, held by Loïc Leferme (France) in 2001.
