World War II veteran breaks own oldest diver record off Cyprus coast

A 96-year-old British World War II veteran claims to have broken his own world record as the oldest scuba diver, diving at the popular Zenobia wreck off Cyprus’ southern coast, AP reports.

Event sponsor Larnaca Municipality announced Ray Woolley dived on his birthday Saturday to a depth of 42.4 meters (137.8 feet) for 48 minutes.

Larnaca Municipality says the Zenobia ferry is rated as one of the world’s five best wrecks for diving.
