On a sparkling, clear and calm day in early December, part-time Montreal model Kim Bruneau slipped into the ocean off the coast of Nassau in the Bahamas, wearing a pink tutu, setting her sights on a new Guinness World Record for underwater modelling.
“With this type of challenge, the model has the hardest part because I put my life in their hands,” Bruneau, 38, said from her Montreal home.
Bruneau, photographer Pia Oyarzun, and a large team of helpers swam 130 feet down into the ocean. There, Bruneau removed her air tank and mask, holding her breath so Oyarzun could take photos of her posing for the world record. Every few minutes, an assistant brought over a tank so Bruneau could take in some air. Then she would hold her breath again, posing for the photographer.
In all, the team shot pictures at 130 feet for nine minutes. It set a new Guinness World record for deepest underwater modelling photoshoot.
Global's Amanda Jelowicki has the details.
